Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3?

Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore to 16.4.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3 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-oldcore, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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.

Is GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3 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-57q2-6cp4-9mq3?

GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.5%, placing it in the 74th 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-57q2-6cp4-9mq3?

GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3 is classified as CWE-359 (CWE-359). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Is there exploit tooling available for GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3?

A Nuclei detection template exists for GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-57q2-6cp4-9mq3 was published on August 5, 2025 and was last updated on August 6, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Impact

The XML export of a page in XWiki that can be triggered by any user with view rights on a page by appending ?xpage=xml to the URL includes password and email properties stored on a document that aren't named password or email. This allows any user to obtain the salted and hashed user account validation or password reset token. As those tokens are randomly generated strings, the immediate impact of this should be low. The user's password and email itself aren't exposed as those fields are named password and email and thus aren't affected. However, depending on how the wiki is used, there could be extensions or custom code that store passwords in plain text in such password properties that would be exposed by this vulnerability.

Patches

This vulnerability has been fixed by completely removing the output of password and email fields in this XML export in versions 17.2.0 RC1, 16.10.5 and 16.4.7.

Workarounds

If this XML export isn't needed, the file templates/xml.vm in the deployed WAR can be deleted. There isn't any feature in XWiki itself that depends on this XML export.
