GHSA-32fq-m2q5-h83g
HIGHXWiki-Platform vulnerable to stored Cross-site Scripting via the HTML displayer in Live Data
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Impact
A user without script rights can introduce a stored XSS by using the Live Data macro.
For instance:
{{liveData id="movies" properties="title,description"}}
{
"data": {
"count": 1,
"entries": [
{
"title": "Meet John Doe",
"url": "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033891/",
"description": "<img onerror='alert(1)' src='foo' />"
}
]
},
"meta": {
"propertyDescriptors": [
{
"id": "title",
"name": "Title",
"visible": true,
"displayer": {"id": "link", "propertyHref": "url"}
},
{
"id": "description",
"name": "Description",
"visible": true,
"displayer": "html"
}
]
}
}
{{/liveData}}
Patches
This has been patched in XWiki 14.9, 14.4.7, and 13.10.10.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-macro. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-macro to 13.10.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-32fq-m2q5-h83g is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-32fq-m2q5-h83g is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-32fq-m2q5-h83g. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-32fq-m2q5-h83g in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-32fq-m2q5-h83g across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
