How to Fix CVE-2025-65089

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected XWiki view file macro dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

com.xwiki.pro:xwiki-pro-macros-ui fixed: 1.27.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.xwiki.pro</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-pro-macros-ui</artifactId>
    <version>1.27.0</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.xwiki.pro

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-65089, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.xwiki.pro

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of XWiki view file macro in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.27.0), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.xwiki.pro command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-862: Missing Authorization, where the product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary A user with no view rights on a page may see the content of an office attachment displayed with the view file macro. ### Details If on a public page is displayed an office attachment from a restricted page, a user with no view rights on the restricted page can view the attachment content, no matter the display type used. ### PoC 1. Install and activate the Pro Macros application 2. Create a page and limit the view rights for a test user 3. Add an attachment to the restricted page 4. Create a new public page 5. Add the view file macro and select the attachment from the restricted page using any display type 6. Login as the test user with restricted view rights 7. The user will see the content despite having no view rights ### Workarounds None ### Impact Private data can be leaked if a user knows the reference to an attachment and has edit rights on a page.
