CVE-2024-31984: XWiki Platform: Remote code execution through space title and Solr space facet
By creating a document with a specially crafted title, it is possible to trigger remote code execution in the (Solr-based) search in XWiki. This allows any user who can edit the title of a space (all users by default) to execute any Groovy code in the XWiki installation which compromises the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation.
To reproduce, as a user without script nor programming rights, create a document with title {{/html}}{{async}}{{groovy}}println("Hello from Groovy Title!"){{/groovy}}{{/async}}
and content Test Document
. Using the search UI, search for "Test Document"
, then deploy the Location
facet on the right of the screen, next to the search results. The installation is vulnerable if you see an item such as:
Hello from Groovy Title!
</a>
<div class="itemCount">1</div>
</li>
</ul>
{{/html}}
