CVE-2024-56158: XWiki allows SQL injection in query endpoint of REST API with Oracle

June 12, 2025

It’s possible to execute any SQL query in Oracle by using the function like DBMS_XMLGEN or DBMS_XMLQUERY.

The XWiki query validator does not sanitize functions that would be used in a simple select and Hibernate allows using any native function in an HQL query.
