- Impact Any user with edit rights on a document can trigger a XAR import on a forged XAR file, leading to the ability to display the content of any file on the XWiki server host. Example to reproduce: Create a forget XAR file and inside it, have the following package.xml content: Upload it onto a wiki page (e.g. XXE) as an attachment (e.g. test.xar). Call the page using http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XXE?sheet=XWiki.AdminImportSheet&file=test.xar You'll then notice that the displayed UI contains the content of the /etc/passwd file. Patches The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 13.10.11, 14.4.7 and 14.10-rc-1.
