Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

CVE-2023-37910 affects XWiki Platform, a generic wiki platform, from version 14.0-rc-1 up to versions 14.4.8, 14.10.4, and 15.0-rc-1. The vulnerability was discovered and reported through Intigriti by researcher Mete, and has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (HIGH) (GitHub Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) and allows unauthorized access to attachments through the attachment move functionality. The vulnerability exists in the org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-attachment-api component and has a CVSS vector of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, indicating network accessibility with low attack complexity and requiring low privileges (GitHub Advisory).

Impact

An attacker with edit access on any document (including user profiles which are editable by default) can move any attachment from any other document to their controlled document. This allows unauthorized access and potential publication of any attachment whose name is known, regardless of the attacker's view or edit rights on the source document. Additionally, the attachment is deleted from the source document (GitHub Advisory).

Exploitability

The vulnerability requires low privileges and no user interaction to exploit. The attacker only needs edit access to any document in the system, which can be obtained through default user profile access. The vulnerability has been confirmed exploitable through the attachment move functionality (GitHub Advisory, XWiki Jira).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki versions 14.4.8, 14.10.4, and 15.0-rc-1. There are no workarounds available, and users must upgrade to a fixed version to mitigate the vulnerability (GitHub Advisory).
