CVE-2024-31986
XWiki Platform CSRF remote code execution through scheduler job's document reference
XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 3.1 and prior to versions 4.10.19, 15.5.4, and 15.10-rc-1, by creating a document with a special crafted documented reference and an XWiki.SchedulerJobClass XObject, it is possible to execute arbitrary code on the server whenever an admin visits the scheduler page or the scheduler page is referenced, e.g., via an image in a comment on a page in the wiki. The vulnerability has been fixed in XWiki 14.10.19, 15.5.5, and 15.9. As a workaround, apply the patch manually by modifying the Scheduler.WebHome page.

XWiki Platform CSRF remote code execution through scheduler job's document reference
Impact
By creating a document with a special crafted documented reference and an XWiki.SchedulerJobClass XObject, it is possible to execute arbitrary code on the server whenever an admin visits the scheduler page or the scheduler page is referenced, e.g., via an image in a comment on a page in the wiki.
To reproduce on an XWiki installation, click on this link to create a new document : <xwiki-host>/xwiki/bin/view/%22%3E%5D%5D%7B%7B%2Fhtml%7D%7D%7B%7Basync%20context%3D%22request/parameters%22%7D%7D%7B%7Bvelocity%7D%7D%23evaluate%28%24request/eval%29/.
Then, add to this document an object of type XWiki.SchedulerJobClass.
Finally, as an admin, go to <xwiki-host>/xwiki/bin/view/Scheduler/?eval=$services.logging.getLogger(%22attacker%22).error(%22Hello%20from%20URL%20Parameter!%20I%20got%20programming:%20$services.security.authorization.hasAccess(%27programming%27)%22).
If the logs contain ERROR attacker - Hello from URL Parameter! I got programming: true, the installation is vulnerable.
Patches
The vulnerability has been fixed on XWiki 14.10.19, 15.5.5, and 15.9.
Workarounds
Modify the Scheduler.WebHome page following this patch.
