Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability manifests in property display rendering as documented in XWIKI-17374. The PropertyDisplayer.display
method is the core output mechanism for user-controlled properties. The JIRA ticket explicitly shows the XSS occurs in property display and links to escaping improvements in XMLUtils
. While the exact code diff isn't available, the security advisory and JIRA analysis confirm the displayer's escaping was inadequate prior to 12.8.
