How severe is GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq?

GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq affects the following packages: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war (Maven), org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq?

Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war to 16.10.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq 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-distribution-war, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq 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.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 2 known exploit references for GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq, including 1 documented proof-of-concept exploit on Exploit-DB. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq?

GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 85.3%, placing it in the 100th 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. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq?

GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq is classified as SQL Injection (CWE-89). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

Is there exploit tooling available for GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq?

A Nuclei detection template exists for GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq, 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-vr59-gm53-v7cq published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq was published on July 24, 2025 and was last updated on July 25, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

No confirmed exploitation observed yet

CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Description

Impact

It's possible for anyone to inject SQL using the parameter sort of the getdeleteddocuments.vm. It's injected as is as an ORDER BY value.

One can see the result of the injection with http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/rest/liveData/sources/liveTable/entries?sourceParams.template=getdeleteddocuments.vm&sort=injected (this example does not work, but it shows that an HQL query was executed with the passed value which look nothing like an order by value, without any kind of sanitation).

Patches

This has been patched in 17.3.0-rc-1, 16.10.6.

Workarounds

There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki.

How to detect GHSA-vr59-gm53-v7cq

A community-maintained Nuclei template exists for this CVE. You can scan for it directly:

nuclei -id ghsa-vr59-gm53-v7cq -u https://target

Template: XWiki Platform - SQL Injection
Severity: critical
Impact: Authenticated attackers with access to the deleted documents trash feature could inject SQL code, leading to data leakage, database modification, or further compromise of the application.
Remediation: Upgrade to XWiki Platform version 16.10.6 and 17.3.0-rc-1. (or newer) which addresses this vulnerability. Always validate and sanitize user-controlled input for query parameters.
