CVE-2024-31982
Xwiki
CVE-2024-31982: XWiki Platform remote code execution vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code through database search. This critical flaw impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of XWiki installations. The SVRS score is 46, indicating a moderate level of risk; however, given that exploits are actively being used "In The Wild", prompt patching is strongly advised. The vulnerability exists because the database search functionality in XWiki permits code execution via crafted search text. Successful exploitation grants attackers significant control over the affected system. Upgrade to XWiki versions 14.10.20, 15.5.4, or 15.10RC1 to mitigate this risk. Alternatively, apply the provided patch or disable database search if not actively in use.
