How to Fix CVE-2022-41927

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xwiki platform tag 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-tag-ui fixed: 13.10.7
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-tag-ui</artifactId>
    <version>13.10.7</version>
</dependency>
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-tag-ui fixed: 14.4.1
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>xwiki-platform-tag-ui</artifactId>
    <version>14.4.1</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-2022-41927, 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 tag ui in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 13.10.7), 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-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), where the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. In Xwiki platform tag 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 It's possible with a simple request to perform deletion or renaming of tags without needing any confirmation, by using a CSRF attack. ### Patches The problem has been patched in XWiki 13.10.7, 14.4.1 and 14.5RC1. ### Workarounds It's possible to patch existing instances directly by editing the page Main.Tags and add this kind of check, in the code for renaming and for deleting: ``` #if (!$services.csrf.isTokenValid($request.get('form_token'))) #set ($discard = $response.sendError(401, "Wrong CSRF token")) #end ``` See the commit with the fix for more information about patching the page: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/7fd4cda0590180c4d34f557597e9e10e263def9e ### References * https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-19748 * https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/7fd4cda0590180c4d34f557597e9e10e263def9e ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [JIRA](https://jira.xwiki.org) * Email us at [security ML](mailto:security@xwiki.org)
