Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-08-20 15:15 - Updated: 2025-09-11 13:51
Severity ?
Summary
XWiki through version 17.3.0 is affected by multiple stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Administration interface, specifically under the Presentation section of the Global Preferences panel. An authenticated administrator can inject arbitrary JavaScript payloads into the HTTP Meta Info, Footer Copyright, and Footer Version fields. These inputs are stored and subsequently rendered without proper output encoding or sanitization on public-facing pages. As a result, the injected scripts are persistently executed in the browser context of any visitor to the affected instances including both authenticated and unauthenticated users. No user interaction is required beyond visiting a page that includes the malicious content. Successful exploitation can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, unauthorized actions via session riding, or further compromise of the application through client-side attacks. The vulnerability introduces significant risk in any deployment, especially in shared or internet-facing environments where administrator credentials may be compromised.

"value": "XWiki, hasta la versi\u00f3n 17.3.0, se ve afectado por m\u00faltiples vulnerabilidades de cross-site scripting (XSS) almacenado en la interfaz de Administraci\u00f3n, espec\u00edficamente en la secci\u00f3n Presentaci\u00f3n del panel Preferencias globales. Un administrador autenticado puede inyectar payloads de JavaScript arbitrarios en los campos HTTP Meta Info, Footer Copyright y Footer Version. Estas entradas se almacenan y posteriormente se representan sin la codificaci\u00f3n ni la depuraci\u00f3n de salida adecuadas en p\u00e1ginas p\u00fablicas. Como resultado, los scripts inyectados se ejecutan de forma persistente en el navegador de cualquier visitante de las instancias afectadas, tanto usuarios autenticados como no autenticados. No se requiere interacci\u00f3n del usuario m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de visitar una p\u00e1gina que incluya el contenido malicioso. Una explotaci\u00f3n exitosa puede provocar secuestro de sesi\u00f3n, robo de credenciales, acciones no autorizadas mediante la ejecuci\u00f3n de sesiones o un mayor riesgo de la aplicaci\u00f3n mediante ataques del lado del cliente. Esta vulnerabilidad supone un riesgo significativo en cualquier implementaci\u00f3n, especialmente en entornos compartidos o conectados a internet donde las credenciales del administrador pueden verse comprometidas."
