How to Fix CVE-2025-24893
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xwiki platform search solr 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.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui</artifactId>
<version>15.10.11</version>
</dependency><dependency>
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui</artifactId>
<version>16.4.1</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.platformHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-24893, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.xwiki.platformAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Xwiki platform search solr ui in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 15.10.11), 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-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In Xwiki platform search solr 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.

"details" : "### Impact\nAny guest can perform arbitrary remote code execution through a request to `SolrSearch`. This impacts the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation.\n\nTo reproduce on an instance, without being logged in, go to `<host>/xwiki/bin/get/Main/SolrSearch?media=rss&text=%7D%7D%7D%7B%7Basync%20async%3Dfalse%7D%7D%7B%7Bgroovy%7D%7Dprintln%28\"Hello%20from\"%20%2B%20\"%20search%20text%3A\"%20%2B%20%2823%20%2B%2019%29%29%7B%7B%2Fgroovy%7D%7D%7B%7B%2Fasync%7D%7D%20`. If there is an output, and the title of the RSS feed contains `Hello from search text:42`, then the instance is vulnerable.\n\n### Patches\nThis vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 15.10.11, 16.4.1 and 16.5.0RC1.\n\n### Workarounds\n[This line](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/568447cad5172d97d6bbcfda9f6183689c2cf086/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-search/xwiki-platform-search-solr/xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui/src/main/resources/Main/SolrSearchMacros.xml#L955) in `Main.SolrSearchMacros` can be edited to match the `rawResponse` macro defined [here](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/67021db9b8ed26c2236a653269302a86bf01ef40/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-web/xwiki-platform-web-templates/src/main/resources/templates/macros.vm#L2824) with a content type of `application/xml`, instead of simply outputting the content of the feed.\n\n### References\n\n* https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-22149\n* https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/67021db9b8ed26c2236a653269302a86bf01ef40\n\n### Attribution\nThis vulnerability has been reported by John Kwak for Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative.",
