How to Fix CVE-2023-35155

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xwiki platform sharepage api 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-sharepage-api fixed: 14.4.8
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-sharepage-api</artifactId>
    <version>14.4.8</version>
</dependency>
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-sharepage-api fixed: 14.10.4
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-sharepage-api</artifactId>
    <version>14.10.4</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-2023-35155, 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 sharepage api 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.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Xwiki platform sharepage api, 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 Users are able to forge an URL with a payload allowing to inject Javascript in the page (XSS). For instance, the following URL execute an `alter` on the browser: `<xwiki-host>/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?viewer=share&send=1&target=&target=%3Cimg+src+onerror%3Dalert%28document.domain%29%3E+%3Cimg+src+onerror%3Dalert%28document.domain%29%3E+%3Crenniepak%40intigriti.me%3E&includeDocument=inline&message=I+wanted+to+share+this+page+with+you.`, where `<xwiki-host>` is the URL of your XWiki installation. See https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20370 for me details. ### Patches The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 15.0-rc-1, 14.10.4, and 14.4.8. ### Workarounds The fix is only impacting Velocity templates and page contents, so applying this [patch](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/ca88ebdefb2c9fa41490959cce9f9e62404799e7) is enough to fix the issue. ### References https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20370 ### 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) ### Attribution This vulnerability has been reported on Intigriti by René de Sain @renniepak.
