How to Fix CVE-2023-29519

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xwiki platform attachment 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.

org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-attachment-ui fixed: 13.10.11
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-attachment-ui</artifactId>
    <version>13.10.11</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-attachment-ui</artifactId>

    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-attachment-ui</artifactId>
    <version>14.10.2</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-2023-29519, 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 attachment ui in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 13.10.11), 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-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In Xwiki platform attachment ui, 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 A registered user can perform remote code execution leading to privilege escalation by injecting the proper code in the "property" field of an attachment selector, as a gadget of their own dashboard. Note that the vulnerability does not impact comments of a wiki. ### Patches The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 13.10.11, 14.4.8, 14.10.2, 15.0-rc-1. ### Workarounds The problem can be worked around by applying following changes directly in XWiki.AttachmentSelector page: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/5e8725b4272cd3e5be09d3ca84273be2da6869c1. ### References * https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20364 * https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/5e8725b4272cd3e5be09d3ca84273be2da6869c1 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Jira XWiki.org](https://jira.xwiki.org/) * Email us at [Security Mailing List](mailto:security@xwiki.org)
