CVSS v3.1

5.0

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions XWiki Platform versions prior to 14.10.1 XWiki Platform versions prior to 15.0-rc-1
Description The issue is related to insufficient access control in the XWiki Platform, allowing a remote attacker to create a new user. This can be achieved by exploiting the distribution/firstadminuser.wiki in the wrong context, if a guest has view rights on any document.
Recommendations For versions prior to 14.10.1, upgrade to version 14.10.1 or later. For versions prior to 15.0-rc-1, upgrade to version 15.0-rc-1 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting guest view rights on documents to minimize the risk of exploitation.
