How to Fix CVE-2025-66472
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xwiki platform flamingo skin resources 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-flamingo-skin-resources</artifactId>
<version>16.10.10</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources</artifactId>
<version>17.4.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-web-templates</artifactId>
<version>16.10.10</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-web-templates</artifactId>
<version>17.4.2</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-2025-66472, 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 flamingo skin resources in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 16.10.10), 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-80: Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS), where the product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. In Xwiki platform flamingo skin resources, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.

"details" : "### Impact\nA reflected XSS vulnerability in XWiki allows an attacker to send a victim to a URL with a deletion confirmation message on which the attacker-supplied script is executed when the victim clicks the \"No\" button. When the victim has admin or programming right, this allows the attacker to execute basically arbitrary actions on the XWiki installation including remote code execution.\n\n### Patches\nThis vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 16.10.10, 17.4.2 and 17.5.0 by using the affected URL parameter only in the intended context.\n\n### Workarounds\nThe [patch](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/cb578b1b2910d06e9dd7581077072d1cfbd280f2) can be manually applied to the templates that are present in the WAR. A restart of XWiki is needed for the changes to be applied.",
