CVE-2026-33229 PUBLISHED

XWiki Platform affected by remote code execution with script right through unprotected Velocity scripting API

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 18.03.2026 Published: 08.04.2026 Updated: 08.04.2026

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Prior to 17.4.8 and 17.10.1, an improperly protected scripting API allows any user with script right to bypass the sandboxing of the Velocity scripting API and execute, e.g., arbitrary Python scripts, allowing full access to the XWiki instance and thereby compromising the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole instance. Note that script right already constitutes a high level of access that we don't recommend giving to untrusted users. This vulnerability is fixed in 17.4.8 and 17.10.1.
