CVE-2024-46979GHSA-pg4m-3gp6-hw4w

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-notifications-ui 15.10.1, 15.5.5, 14.10.21), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact It's possible to get access to notification filters of any user by using a URL such as <hostnamexwiki/bin/get/XWiki/Notifications/Code/NotificationFilterPreferenceLivetableResults?outputSyntax=plain&type=custom&user=<username. This vulnerability impacts all versions of XWiki since 13.2-rc-1. The filters do not provide much information (they mainly contain references which are public data in XWiki), though some info could be used in combination with other vulnerabilities. Patches The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.21, 15.5.5, 15.10.1, 16.0RC1. The patch consists in checking the rights of the user when sending the data. Workarounds It's possible to workaround the vulnerability by applying manually the patch: it's possible for an administrator to edit directly the document XWiki.Notifications.Code.NotificationFilterPreferenceLivetableResults to apply the same changes as in the patch.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-46979

Advisory: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-notifications-ui leaks data of notification filters of users
IDs: CVE-2024-46979, GHSA-pg4m-3gp6-hw4w
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-46979 (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: Medium (CVSS 6.9)
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-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.
