GitHub Security Advisory
xwiki-platform vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in Annotations
Advisory Details
### Impact
The annotation displayer does not execute the content in a restricted context. This allows executing anything with the right of the author of any document by annotating the document.
To reproduce: add an annotation with the content `{{groovy}}print "hello"{{/groovy}}` and click the yellow scare to get a display of the annotation inline.
The result is "hello" but it should be an error suggesting that it's not allowed to use the groovy macro.
### Patches
This has been patched in XWiki 13.10.11, 14.4.7 and 14.10.
### Workarounds
There is no easy workaround except to upgrade.
