How to Fix CVE-2025-49584

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

org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server fixed: 16.4.7 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-rest-server</artifactId>
    <version>16.4.7</version>
</dependency>
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server fixed: 16.10.3 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-rest-server</artifactId>
    <version>16.10.3</version>
</dependency>
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server fixed: 17.0.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-rest-server</artifactId>
    <version>17.0.0</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=org.xwiki.platform

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-49584, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.xwiki.platform

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Xwiki platform rest server in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 16.4.7), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.xwiki.platform 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-201: Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data, where the code transmits data to another actor, but a portion of the data includes sensitive information that should not be accessible to that actor. In Xwiki platform rest server, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact The title of every single page whose reference is known can be accessed through the REST API as long as an XClass with a page property is accessible, this is the default for an XWiki installation. This allows an attacker to get titles of pages whose reference is known, one title per request. This doesn't affect fully [private wikis](https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Access%20Rights/#HPrivateWiki) as the REST endpoint checks access rights on the XClass definition. The impact on confidentiality depends on the strategy for page names. By default, page names match the title, so the impact should be low but if page names are intentionally obfuscated because the titles are sensitive, the impact could be high. ### Patches This has been fixed in XWiki 16.4.7, 16.10.3 and 17.0.0 by adding access control checks before getting the title of any page. ### Workarounds We're not aware of any workarounds.
