Impact	Complete system compromise — the attacker gains the ability to install malware, steal data, create backdoors, or pivot to other systems on the network. With a CVSS score of 8.3 (HIGH), this represents a significant risk.
Exploit ScenarioDerived	An attacker sends a specially crafted request to the vulnerable service that triggers code execution with the privileges of the running process.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 15, 2026

XWiki Remote Macros provides XWiki rendering macros that are useful when migrating content from Confluence. Prior to 1.27.1, the macro executes Velocity from the details pages without checking for permissions, which can lead to remote code execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.27.1.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

XWiki Remote Macros versions before 1.27.1 contain a critical remote code execution vulnerability where Velocity templates execute without permission validation, allowing attackers to gain arbitrary code execution on affected systems. This impacts any organization using XWiki with Remote Macros enabled and poses immediate risk to data confidentiality, integrity, and system availability.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch to version 1.27.1 or later. If immediate patching is not feasible, disable Remote Macros extension entirely until patch deployment can be completed, and restrict XWiki instance access to authenticated users only via network controls.
