# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-46978

Advisory: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-notifications-ui is missing checks for notification filter preferences editions
IDs: CVE-2024-46978, GHSA-r95w-889q-x2gx
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-46978 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:31 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.1)
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-notifications-ui 15.10.1, 15.5.5, 14.10.21. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-notifications-ui: affected >= 13.2-rc-1, < 14.10.21; >= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.5.5; >= 15.6-rc-1, < 15.10.1; fixed in 14.10.21, 15.5.5, 15.10.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-notifications-ui: 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-notifications-ui.
- 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-r95w-889q-x2gx (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-r95w-889q-x2gx lists affected ranges: Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-notifications-ui >=13.2-rc-1 =15.0-rc-1 =15.6-rc-1 <15.10.1)
