Description
Impact
We found a possible XSS vector in the WikiManager.JoinWiki wiki page related to the "requestJoin" field.
Patches
The issue is patched in versions 12.10.11, 14.0-rc-1, 13.4.7, 13.10.3.
Workarounds
The easiest workaround is to edit the wiki page WikiManager.JoinWiki (with wiki editor) and change the line
<input type='hidden' name='requestJoin' value="$!request.requestJoin"/>
into
<input type='hidden' name='requestJoin' value="$escapetool.xml($!request.requestJoin)">

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-wiki-ui-mainwiki. 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-wiki-ui-mainwiki to 12.10.11 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-ph5x-h23x-7q5q 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-ph5x-h23x-7q5q 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-ph5x-h23x-7q5q. 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-ph5x-h23x-7q5q in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-ph5x-h23x-7q5q across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
