Description
Impact
The application allow anyone with view access to modify any page of the wiki by importing a crafted XAR package.
Patches
The problem has been patched in XWiki 14.6RC1, 14.6 and 13.10.8.
Workarounds
The problem can be patched immediately by setting the right of the page Filter.WebHome and making sure only main wiki administrators can VIEW it the application is installed on main wiki or edit the page and apply the changed described on https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/fb49b4f289ee28e45cfada8e97e320cd3ed27113.

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-filter-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-filter-ui to 13.10.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q6jp-gcww-8v2j 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-q6jp-gcww-8v2j 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-q6jp-gcww-8v2j. 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-q6jp-gcww-8v2j in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-q6jp-gcww-8v2j across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
