Descriptions

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. In affected versions it's possible for an unprivileged user to perform a remote code execution by injecting a groovy script in her own profile and by calling the Reset password feature since the feature is performing a save of the user profile with programming rights in the impacted versions of XWiki. The issue has been patched in XWiki 13.1RC1. There are two different possible workarounds, each consisting of modifying the XWiki/ResetPassword page. 1. The Reset password feature can be entirely disabled by deleting the XWiki/ResetPassword page. 2. The script in XWiki/ResetPassword can also be modified or removed: an administrator can replace it with a simple email contact to ask an administrator to reset the password.

XWiki Platform es una plataforma wiki genérica que ofrece servicios de ejecución para las aplicaciones construidas sobre ella. En las versiones afectadas es posible que un usuario no privilegiado lleve a cabo una ejecución de código remota al inyectar un script groovy en su propio perfil y llamando a la funcionalidad Reset password, ya que ésta lleva a cabo un guardado del perfil del usuario con derechos de programación en las versiones afectadas de XWiki. El problema ha sido parcheado en XWiki versión 13.1RC1. Se presentan dos posibles medidas de mitigación, cada una consistiendo en modificar la página XWiki/ResetPassword. 1. La funcionalidad Reset password puede deshabilitarse por completo al borrar la página XWiki/ResetPassword. 2. El script en XWiki/ResetPassword también puede ser modificado o eliminado: un administrador puede sustituirlo por un simple contacto de correo electrónico para pedir a un administrador que restablezca la contraseña
