EPSS

• CVE-2022-36091: 0.85% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 58.27 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact Through the suggestion feature, string and list properties of objects the user shouldn't have access to can be accessed. This includes private personal information like email addresses and salted password hashes of registered users but also other information stored in properties of objects. Sensitive configuration fields like passwords for LDAP or SMTP servers could be accessed. By exploiting an additional vulnerability, this issue can even be exploited on private wikis at least for string properties. Patches The issue is patched in version 13.10.4 and 14.2. Password properties are no longer displayed and rights are checked for other properties. Workarounds The template file suggest.vm can be replaced by a patched version without upgrading or restarting XWiki unless it has been overridden, in which case the overridden template should be patched, too. This might need adjustments for older versions, though. References https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-18849 For more…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-36091

Advisory: XWiki Platform Web Templates vulnerable to Missing Authorization, Exposure of Private Personal Information to Unauthorized Actor
IDs: CVE-2022-36091, GHSA-599v-w48h-rjrm
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-36091 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:01 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web 14.2; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates 13.10.4. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web: affected >= 14.0, < 14.2; fixed in 14.2
- Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates: affected >= 1.3, < 13.10.4; fixed in 13.10.4

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web, org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-599v-w48h-rjrm (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-599v-w48h-rjrm lists affected ranges: Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates >=1.3 =14.0 <14.2)
