How to Fix CVE-2023-34465
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xwiki platform mail send default 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-mail-send-default</artifactId>
<version>14.4.8</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-mail-send-default</artifactId>
<version>14.10.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-mail-send-default</artifactId>
<version>15.1</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-2023-34465, 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 mail send default in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 14.4.8), 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\n`Mail.MailConfig` can be edited by any logged-in user by default. Consequently, they can:\n- change the mail obfuscation configuration\n- view and edit the mail sending configuration, including the smtp domain name and credentials.\n\n### Patches\nThe problem has been patched on XWiki 14.4.8, 15.1, and 14.10.6.\n\n### Workarounds\nThe rights of the `Mail.MailConfig` page can be manually updated so that only a set of trusted users can view, edit and delete it (e.g., the `XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup` group).\nOn 14.4.8+, 15.1-rc-1+, or 14.10.5+, if at startup `Mail.MailConfig` does not have any rights defined, `view`, `edit ` and `delete` rights are automatically granted to the `XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup` group.\nSee the corresponding [patch](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/d28d7739089e1ae8961257d9da7135d1a01cb7d4).\n\n### References\n- https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20519 + https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20671\n- https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/d28d7739089e1ae8961257d9da7135d1a01cb7d4\n- https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/8910b8857d3442d2e8142f655fdc0512930354d1\n\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)",
