As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact It's possible to execute javascript with the right of any user by leading him to a special URL on the wiki targeting a page which contains an attachment. To reproduce: add an attachment to a page (for example, your user profile) add ?xpage=importinline&editor=%22%3E%3Cimg%20src%20onerror=alert(document.domain)%3E to the page view URL as in https://myhost/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/MyUser?xpage=importinline&editor=%22%3E%3Cimg%20src%20onerror=alert(document.domain)%3E Patches This has been patched in XWiki 15.0-rc-1, 14.10.4 and 14.4.8. Workarounds The easiest is to edit file <xwiki app/templates/importinline.vm and apply the modification described on https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/28905f7f518cc6f21ea61fe37e9e1ed97ef36f01 References https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20340 https://app.intigriti.com/company/submissions/e95a7ad5-7029-4627-abf0-3e3e3ea0b4ce/XWIKI-E93DFEYK Attribution This vulnerability has been reported on Intigriti by René de Sain @renniepak.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2023-32071

Advisory: XWiki Platform vulnerable to RXSS via editor parameter - importinline template
IDs: CVE-2023-32071, GHSA-j9h5-vcgv-2jfm
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2023-32071 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:16 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.0)
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-distribution-war 14.10.4, 14.4.8. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war: affected >= 2.2-milestone-1, < 14.4.8; >= 14.5, < 14.10.4; fixed in 14.10.4, 14.4.8

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war: 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-distribution-war.
- 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-j9h5-vcgv-2jfm (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-j9h5-vcgv-2jfm lists affected ranges: Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war >=2.2-milestone-1 =14.5 <14.10.4)
