Summary
XWiki allows remote code execution through the extension sheet
Details

Impact

On instances where Extension Repository Application is installed, any user can execute any code requiring programming rights on the server. In order to reproduce on an instance, as a normal user without script nor programming rights, go to your profile and add an object of type ExtensionCode.ExtensionClass. Set the description to {{async}}{{groovy}}println("Hello from Description"){{/groovy}}{{/async}} and press Save and View. If the description displays as Hello from Description without any error, then the instance is vulnerable.

Patches

This vulnerability has been fixed in XWiki 15.10.9 and 16.3.0.

Workarounds

Since Extension Repository Application is not mandatory, it can be safely disabled on instances that do not use it. It is also possible to manually apply this patch to the page ExtensionCode.ExtensionSheet, as well as this patch to the page ExtensionCode.ExtensionAuthorsDisplayer.
