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
It's possible for a user to execute anything with the right of the author of the XWiki.ClassSheet document.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Edit your user profile with the object editor and add an object of type
DocumentSheetBindingwith valueDefault Class Sheet - Edit your user profile with the wiki editor and add the syntax
{{async}}{{groovy}}println("Hello " + "from groovy!"){{/groovy}}{{/async}} - Click "Save & View"
Expected result:
An error is displayed as the user doesn't have the right to execute the Groovy macro.
Actual result:
The text "Hello from groovy!" is displayed at the top of the document.
Patches
This has been patched in XWiki 15.0-rc-1 and 14.10.4.
Workarounds
There are no known workarounds for it.

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-test-ui. 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-test-ui to 14.10.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-36fm-j33w-c25f 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-36fm-j33w-c25f 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-36fm-j33w-c25f. 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-36fm-j33w-c25f in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-36fm-j33w-c25f across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
