What to do

AI-suggested

  1. Immediate upgrade of xwiki-pro-macros to version 1.26.5 or later, where the vulnerability is patched.
  2. Review and restrict edit permissions on XWiki pages to trusted users only, minimizing the number of accounts that can exploit this vulnerability.
  3. Implement strict input validation and sanitization policies for any user-supplied parameters in XWiki macros, beyond the vendor patch, to reduce injection risks.
  4. Monitor XWiki server logs for unusual syntax or code execution attempts, focusing on the usage of the 'classes' parameter in the panel macro.
  5. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious XWiki syntax injection patterns.
  6. Conduct regular security audits and penetration tests on XWiki deployments to identify any residual or related vulnerabilities.
  7. Isolate XWiki servers in segmented network zones with limited access to critical backend systems to contain potential compromises.

Description

XWiki Remote Macros provides XWiki rendering macros that are useful when migrating content from Confluence. Starting in version 1.0 and prior to version 1.26.5, missing escaping of the classes parameter in the panel macro allows remote code execution for any user who can edit any page The classes parameter is used without escaping in XWiki syntax, thus allowing XWiki syntax injection which enables remote code execution. Version 1.26.5 contains a patch for the issue.
