Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Dec 12, 2024 in xwiki/xwiki-platform • Updated Dec 12, 2024

Package

maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-ui (Maven)

Affected versions

>= 1.2-milestone-2, < 15.10.9
>= 16.0.0-rc-1, < 16.3.0

Patched versions

15.10.9
16.3.0

Description

Impact

Any user with an account on the main wiki could run scheduling operations on subwikis.
To reproduce, as a user on the main wiki without any special right, view the document Scheduler.WebHome in a subwiki. Then, click on any operation (e.g., Trigger) on any job. If the operation is successful, then the instance is vulnerable.

Patches

This has been patched in XWiki 15.10.9 and 16.3.0.

Workarounds

If you have subwikis where the Job Scheduler is enabled, you can edit the objects on Scheduler.WebPreferences to match xwiki/xwiki-platform@54bcc5a#diff-8e274bd0065e319a34090339de6dfe56193144d15fd71c52c1be7272254728b4.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
