CVE-2024-42489 – Pro Macros Remote Code Execution via Viewpdf and similar macros

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-42489

Pro Macros provides XWiki rendering macros. Missing escaping in the Viewpdf macro allows any user with view right on the `CKEditor.HTMLConverter` page or edit or comment right on any page to perform remote code execution. Other macros like Viewppt are vulnerable to the same kind of attack. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.10.1. • https://github.com/xwikisas/xwiki-pro-macros/blob/main/xwiki-pro-macros-ui/src/main/resources/Confluence/Macros/Viewpdf.xml#L265-L267 https://github.com/xwikisas/xwiki-pro-macros/commit/199553c84901999481a20614f093af2d57970eba https://github.com/xwikisas/xwiki-pro-macros/security/advisories/GHSA-cfq3-q227-7j65 • CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') •
