CVE-2023-29212

CVE-2023-29212: xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-panels-ui Eval Injection vulnerability

Impact

Any user with edit rights can execute arbitrary Groovy, Python or Velocity code in XWiki leading to full access to the XWiki installation. The root cause is improper escaping of the included pages in the included documents edit panel.

A proof of concept exploit is to edit a document and add the following code before saving.

{{display reference="{{cache~}~}{{groovy~}~}println(~"Hello from Groovy~" + ~" in included document!~"){{/groovy~}~}{{/cache~}~}"/}}

expected The right had side panels contain:

One included page: 
{{cache}}{{groovy}}println("Hello from Groovy" + " in included document!"){{/groovy}}{{/cache}}

actual The right had side panels contain:

One included page:
    XWiki.Hello from Groovy in included document!

Patches

The problem has been patched on XWiki 14.4.7, and 14.10.

Workarounds

The issue can be fixed manually applying this patch.

Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stemmed from improper escaping in the IncludedPagesDocumentInformation panel's Velocity template. The original code (pre-patch) used direct $page variable interpolation without proper escaping, allowing execution of embedded code macros. The patch added double escaping through $services.rendering.escape, demonstrating the vulnerable code was the unescaped page reference rendering in the panel's display logic. The affected file was clearly shown in the commit diff modifying the IncludedPagesDocumentInformation.xml template.
