Impact

Critical risk (CVSS 9.8, EPSS 93.9%). XWiki is used by organizations for internal documentation and knowledge management. Guest-accessible RCE means any internet-facing XWiki instance is immediately exploitable.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request to the SolrSearch endpoint containing Groovy code. The wiki evaluates the code, executing OS commands on the server. The attacker gains access to all wiki content and the underlying server.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Why: In CISA KEV with patch available.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Any guest can perform arbitrary remote code execution through a request to SolrSearch. This impacts the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. To reproduce on an instance, without being logged in, go to <host>/xwiki/bin/get/Main/SolrSearch?media=rss&text=%7D%7D%7D%7B%7Basync%20async%3Dfalse%7D%7D%7B%7Bgroovy%7D%7Dprintln%28"Hello%20from"%20%2B%20"%20search%20text%3A"%20%2B%20%2823%20%2B%2019%29%29%7B%7B%2Fgroovy%7D%7D%7B%7B%2Fasync%7D%7D%20. If there is an output, and the title of the RSS feed contains Hello from search text:42, then the instance is vulnerable. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 15.10.11, 16.4.1 and 16.5.0RC1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may edit Main.SolrSearchMacros in SolrSearchMacros.xml on line 955 to match the rawResponse macro in macros.vm#L2824 with a content type of application/xml, instead of simply outputting the content of the feed.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using XWiki Platform face critical risk from CVE-2025-24893, a eval injection vulnerability rated CVSS 9.8. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise. This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild (KEV-listed) and requires immediate remediation. A patch is available and should be applied immediately given the critical severity.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Implement network-level access controls to limit exposure; (2) Enable enhanced monitoring and alerting; (3) Apply principle of least privilege.

Attack Technique

Code Injection CRITICAL

Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
