AnalysisAI
Cross-site scripting in Apache JSPWiki's Markdown renderer error-handling path allows attackers with page-editing access to inject JavaScript that executes in victims' browsers, enabling session data theft and sensitive information exfiltration. All Apache JSPWiki releases through 2.12.3 are affected; the Apache Software Foundation has confirmed version 2.12.4 as the fix. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the attacker hold page-editing permissions on the target JSPWiki instance; in deployments with open registration or anonymous editing enabled, this bar may be low, but in access-controlled or read-only deployments it is a meaningful prerequisite. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | No CVSS vector or numeric score was published in the advisory, and no EPSS data was provided, so quantitative risk signals are absent from the source data. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with JSPWiki page-editing access submits a carefully crafted Markdown snippet engineered to trigger a parsing error in versions through 2.12.3. When a victim such as a wiki administrator or another editor views the affected page or error output rendered by the Markdown engine, the unescaped JavaScript payload executes in their browser, allowing the attacker to steal session cookies or extract other sensitive information. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Apache JSPWiki to version 2.12.4 or later as directed by the Apache Software Foundation advisory at https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=CVE-2026-48910. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
