    Cross-Site Request Forgery with QueryOnXWiki allows arbitrary database queries

    CVE-2023-48293 · GHSA-4f4c-rhjv-4wgv

    Affected
    • Maven org.xwiki.contrib:xwiki-application-admintools < 4.5.1
    Fixed in
    4.5.1· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Impact A CSRF vulnerability in the query on XWiki tool allows executing arbitrary database queries on the database of the XWiki installation. Among other things, this allows modifying and deleting all data of the wiki. This could be both used to damage the wiki and to create an account with elevated privileges for the attacker, thus impacting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki instance. A possible attack vector are comments on the wiki, by embedding an image with wiki syntax like [[image:path:/xwiki/bin/view/Admin/QueryOnXWiki?query=DELETE%20FROM%20xwikidoc]], all documents would be deleted from the database when an admin user views this comment. Patches This has been patched in Admin Tools Application 4.5.1 by adding form token checks. Workarounds The patch can also be applied manually to the affected pages. Alternatively, if the query tool is not needed, by deleting the document Admin.SQLToolsGroovy, all database query tools can be deactivated.…

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.5.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.

    Run Shell Command allows Cross-Site Request Forgery

    CVE-2023-48292 · GHSA-8jpr-ff92-hpf9

    Affected
    • Maven org.xwiki.contrib:xwiki-application-admintools >= 4.4, < 4.5.1
    Fixed in
    4.5.1· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Impact A cross site request forgery vulnerability in the admin tool for executing shell commands on the server allows an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands by tricking an admin into loading the URL with the shell command. A very simple possibility for an attack are comments. When the attacker can leave a comment on any page in the wiki it is sufficient to include an image with an URL like /xwiki/bin/view/Admin/RunShellCommand?command=touch%20/tmp/attacked in the comment. When an admin views the comment, the file /tmp/attacked will be created on the server. The output of the command is also vulnerable to XWiki syntax injection which offers a simple way to execute Groovy in the context of the XWiki installation and thus an even easier way to compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the whole XWiki installation. Patches This has been patched by adding a form token check in version 4.5.1 of the admin tools. Workarounds The patch can be applied manually to the affected…
