How to Fix CVE-2022-41935
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xwiki platform livetable ui dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-livetable-ui</artifactId>
<version>13.10.8</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-livetable-ui</artifactId>
<version>14.4.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-livetable-ui</artifactId>
<version>14.6-rc-1</version>
</dependency>
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-2022-41935, 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 livetable ui in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 13.10.8), 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.

"details" : "### Impact\n\nUser without the right to view documents can deduce their existence by repeated Livetable queries.\n\n#### Reproduction steps\n\n1. Restrict \"view\" access to `Sandbox.TestPage3` by setting an explicit view right for admins\n1. As a user who is not an admin, open `<server>/bin/get/XWiki/LiveTableResults?outputSyntax=plain&classname=&collist=doc.title%2Cdoc.location%2Cdoc.content&doc.title=Sandbo&doc.location=Sandbox.TestPage3&doc.content=dummy&limit=0` where `<server>` is the URL of your XWiki installation.\n\n#### Expect Result:\n\nNo results are displayed as the user doesn't have view rights on Sandbox.TestPage3.\n\n##### Actual Result:\n\nThe result\n\n```json\n{\n \"reqNo\": null,\n \"matchingtags\": {},\n \"tags\": [],\n \"totalrows\": 1,\n \"returnedrows\": 0,\n \"offset\": 1,\n \"rows\": [\n {\n \"doc_viewable\": false,\n \"doc_fullName\": \"obfuscated\"\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\nis displayed.\n\nThis reveals that a document `Sandbox.TestPage3` exists (we explicitly searched for this name) which has a title containing `\"Sandbo\"` and a content containing `\"dummy\"`. By starting with a single letter and then iteratively extending the match, the full content of the title/content or XObject properties can be discovered. Several tests can be combined in a single request to use binary search to narrow down the actual match from a list of possible characters/words. If the used alphabet is known and smaller than 128 distinct characters, it is possible to discover one character with 7 requests. Alternatively, frequencies of words and word pairs (2-gram frequencies) can be used to first guess whole words and only resort to guessing individual characters if none of the predicted words match, allowing a much faster recovery of the textual content. As it also depends on the content how easy the attack is and how much recovered content would be a \"successful\" attack, it is hard to quantify how many requests are necessary.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe issue has been patched in XWiki 14.6RC1, 13.10.8, and 14.4.3, the response is not properly cleaned up of obfuscated entries.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nThe [patch](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/1450b6e3c69ac7df25e5a2571186d1f43402facd#diff-5a739e5865b1f1ad9d79b724791be51b0095a0170cc078911c940478b13b949a) for the document `XWiki.LiveTableResultsMacros` can be manually applied or a XAR archive of a patched version can be [imported](https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/UserGuide/Features/Imports#HImportingXWikipages), on versions >= 12.10.11, >= 13.9-rc-1, and >= 13.4.4.\n\n### References\n\n- https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/1450b6e3c69ac7df25e5a2571186d1f43402facd#diff-5a739e5865b1f1ad9d79b724791be51b0095a0170cc078911c940478b13b949a\n- https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-19999\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n\n- Open an issue in [Jira XWiki.org](https://jira.xwiki.org/)\n- Email us at [Security Mailing List](mailto:security@xwiki.org)\n",
