How to Fix CVE-2023-48241
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xwiki platform search solr query 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-search-solr-query</artifactId>
<version>14.10.15</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-search-solr-query</artifactId>
<version>15.5.1</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-2023-48241, 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 search solr query in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 14.10.15), 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.

"summary" : "Whole content of all documents of all wikis exposed to anybody with view right on Solr suggest service",
"details" : "### Impact\nThe Solr-based search suggestion provider that also duplicates as generic JavaScript API for search results in XWiki exposes the content of all documents of all wikis to anybody who has access to it, by default it is public. This exposes all information stored in the wiki (but not some protected information like password hashes). While there is a right check normally, the right check can be circumvented by explicitly requesting fields from Solr that don't include the data for the right check. This can be reproduced by opening `<xwiki-server>/xwiki/bin/get/XWiki/SuggestSolrService?outputSyntax=plain&media=json&nb=1000&query=q%3D*%3A*%0Aq.op%3DAND%0Afq%3Dtype%3ADOCUMENT%0Afl%3Dtitle_%2C+reference%2C+links%2C+doccontentraw_%2C+objcontent__&input=+` where `<xwiki-server>` is the URL of the XWiki installation. If this displays any results, the wiki is vulnerable.\n\n### Patches\nThis has been fixed in XWiki 15.6RC1, 15.5.1 and 14.10.15 by not listing documents whose rights cannot be checked.\n\n### Workarounds\nWe're not aware of a workaround apart from upgrading to a fixed version.\n\n### References\n* https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-21138\n* https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/93b8ec702d7075f0f5794bb05dfb651382596764",
