Descriptions

XWiki Platform Old Core is a core package for XWiki Platform, a generic wiki platform. Prior to versions 13.1.0.5 and 14.3-rc-1, some resources are missing a check for inactive (not yet activated or disabled) users in XWiki, including the REST service. This means a disabled user can enable themselves using a REST call. On the same way some resources handler created by extensions are not protected by default, so an inactive user could perform actions for such extensions. This issue has existed since at least version 1.1 of XWiki for instance configured with the email activation required for new users. Now it's more critical for versions 11.3-rc-1 and later since the maintainers provided the capability to disable user without deleting them and encouraged using that feature. XWiki 14.3-rc-1 and XWiki 13.10.5 contain a patch. There is no workaround for this other than upgrading XWiki.

XWiki Platform Old Core es un paquete central para XWiki Platform, una plataforma wiki genérica. En versiones anteriores a 13.1.0.5 y 14.3-rc-1, a algunos recursos les falta una comprobación de usuarios inactivos (aún no activados o deshabilitados) en XWiki, incluido el servicio REST. Esto significa que un usuario deshabilitado puede habilitarse mediante una llamada REST. Del mismo modo, algunos controladores de recursos creados por extensiones no están protegidos por defecto, por lo que un usuario inactivo podría llevar a cabo acciones para dichas extensiones. Este problema ha existido desde al menos la versión 1.1 de XWiki, por ejemplo, configurada con la activación de correo electrónico requerida para nuevos usuarios. Ahora es más crítico para las versiones 11.3-rc-1 y posteriores, ya que los mantenedores proporcionaron la capacidad de deshabilitar a usuarios sin eliminarlos y alentaron a usar esa función. XWiki 14.3-rc-1 y XWiki 13.10.5 contienen un parche
