Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions XWiki Watch version 1.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This can be achieved via the rev parameter to API endpoints such as "bin/viewrev/Main/WebHome" and "bin/view/Blog", and the register first name and register last name parameters to the "bin/register/XWiki/Register" endpoint.

Recommendations For XWiki Watch version 1.0, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable API endpoints "bin/viewrev/Main/WebHome", "bin/view/Blog", and "bin/register/XWiki/Register" to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the rev, register first name, and register last name parameters in these endpoints until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
