How to Fix CVE-2023-29213

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xwiki platform logging 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-logging-ui fixed: 13.10.11
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-logging-ui</artifactId>
    <version>14.10</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-2023-29213, 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 logging 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 logging 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 #### Steps to reproduce: It is possible to trick a user with programming rights into visiting <xwiki-host>/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/LoggingAdmin?loggeraction_set=1&logger_name=%7B%7Bcache%7D%7D%7B%7Bgroovy%7D%7Dnew+File%28%22%2Ftmp%2Fexploit.txt%22%29.withWriter+%7B+out+-%3E+out.println%28%22created+from+notification+filter+preferences%21%22%29%3B+%7D%7B%7B%2Fgroovy%7D%7D%7B%7B%2Fcache%7D%7D&logger_level=TRACE where <xwiki-host> is the URL of your XWiki installation, e.g., by embedding an image with this URL in a document that is viewed by a user with programming rights. #### Expected result: No file in /tmp/exploit.txt has been created. #### Actual result: The file `/tmp/exploit.txt` is been created with content "created from notification filter preferences!". This demonstrates a CSRF remote code execution vulnerability that could also be used for privilege escalation or data leaks (if the XWiki installation can reach remote hosts). ### Patches The problem has been patched on XWiki 14.4.7, and 14.10. ### Workarounds The issue can be fixed manually applying this [patch](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/49fdfd633ddfa346c522d2fe71754dc72c9496ca). ### References - https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20291 - https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/49fdfd633ddfa346c522d2fe71754dc72c9496ca ### 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)
