• CVE-2022-41929: 0.79% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 56.25 (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 It's possible for a user with only Script rights to enable or disable a user: this operation should be only doable for users with admin rights. Patches This problem has been patched in XWiki 13.10.7, 14.4.2 and 14.5RC1. Workarounds There is no workaround other than upgrading the wiki, but note that this only impacts users with Script rights: administrator should take care which users have such right.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-41929

Advisory: Missing Authorization in User#setDisabledStatus in org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore
IDs: CVE-2022-41929, GHSA-2gj2-vj98-j2qq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-41929 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:10 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 4.9)
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-oldcore 14.4.2, 13.10.7. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore: affected >= 11.7RC1, < 13.10.7; >= 14.0.0, < 14.4.2; fixed in 14.4.2, 13.10.7

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore: 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-oldcore.
- 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-2gj2-vj98-j2qq (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-2gj2-vj98-j2qq lists affected ranges: Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore >=11.7RC1 =14.0.0 <14.4.2)
