How to Fix CVE-2022-36096

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xwiki platform index 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-index-ui fixed: 13.10.6
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-index-ui</artifactId>
    <version>13.10.6</version>
</dependency>
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-index-ui fixed: 14.3
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-index-ui</artifactId>
    <version>14.3</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-2022-36096, 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 index ui in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 13.10.6), 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 index 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 It's possible to store a JavaScript which will be executed by anyone viewing the deleted attachments index with an attachment containing javascript in its name. For example, attachment a file with name `><img src=1 onerror=alert(1)>.jpg` will execute the alert. ### Patches This issue has been patched in XWiki 13.10.6 and 14.3. ### Workarounds It is possible to modify fix the vulnerability by editing the wiki page `XWiki.DeletedAttachments` with the object editor, open the `JavaScriptExtension` object and apply on the content the changes that can be found on the commit https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/6705b0cd0289d1c90ed354bd4ecc1508c4b25745. ### References * https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-19613 ### 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)
