GitHub Security Advisory

XWiki Platform's async and display macro allow displaying and interacting with any document in restricted mode

✓ GitHub Reviewed CRITICAL Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Impact

It's possible to display any page you cannot access through the combination of the async and display macro.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable comments for guests by giving guests comment rights
2. As a guest, create a comment with content ```{{async}}{{display reference="Menu.WebHome" /}}{{/async}}```
3. Open the comments viewer from the menu (appends ?viewer=comments to the URL)

-> the `Menu.WebHome` is displayed while the expectation would be to have an error that the current user is not allowed to see it

### Patches

The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 15.0-rc-1, 14.10.3, 14.4.8, and 13.10.11.

### Workarounds

There is no known workaround.
