How do I fix GHSA-45ph-gxxr-gwgw?

Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-livetable to 16.10.17 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-45ph-gxxr-gwgw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-45ph-gxxr-gwgw in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-livetable, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-45ph-gxxr-gwgw if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.

Is GHSA-45ph-gxxr-gwgw actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-45ph-gxxr-gwgw yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-45ph-gxxr-gwgw?

GHSA-45ph-gxxr-gwgw has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.8%, placing it in the 54th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-45ph-gxxr-gwgw?

Description

Impact

Any user who can edit a page in XWiki can use Live Data's edit REST API in XWiki to change the rights on that page. This allows the user to obtain script right on the page. Script right allows the user to execute potentially dangerous Velocity scripts and send unfiltered HTML and JavaScript to the client. If there are other security checks, e.g., in extensions, implemented as listeners to UserUpdatingDocumentEvent and similar User… events, these checks can be circumvented, too.

Patches

This vulnerability has been patched by properly calling all checks in Live Data in XWiki 16.10.17, 17.4.10, 17.10.4 and 18.1.0.

Workarounds

We're not aware of any workarounds apart from upgrading.
