GHSA-H7CW-44VP-JQ7H
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-06-20 19:55 – Updated: 2023-06-28 16:33Impact
It's possible to execute any wiki content with the right of the TipsPanel author by creating a tip UI extension.
To reproduce:
* Add an object of type UIExtensionClass
* Set "Extension Point ID" to org.xwiki.platform.help.tipsPanel
* Set "Extension ID" to org.xwiki.platform.user.test (needs to be unique but otherwise doesn't matter)
* Set "Extension Parameters" to
tip={{async async="true" cached="false" context="doc.reference"}}{{groovy}}println("Hello " + "from groovy!"){{/groovy}}{{/async}}
* Set "Extension Scope" to "Current User".
* Click "Save & View"
* Open the "Help.TipsPanel" document at /xwiki/bin/view/Help/TipsPanel where is the URL of your XWiki installation and press refresh repeatedly.
The groovy macro is executed, after the fix you get an error instead.
Patches
This has been patched in XWiki 15.1-rc-1 and 14.10.5.
Workarounds
There are no known workarounds for it.

GHSA-H7J7-3RX6-XVCG
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-29 23:11 – Updated: 2026-05-14 20:39Impact
A vulnerability in datastore_search_sql allowed attackers to inject SQL in order to gain access to private resources and PostgreSQL system information.
Patches
The issue has been patched in CKAN 2.10.10 and CKAN 2.11.5
Workarounds
Disable the DataStore SQL search (ckan.datastore.sqlsearch.enabled = false). Note that the SQL search is disabled by default.
More information
As stated in the documentation, this action function has protections that offer some safety but are not designed to prevent all types of abuse. Depending on the sensitivity of private data in a project's DataStore and the likelihood of abuse of a consuming site, a developer may choose to disable this action function or restrict its use with a IAuthFunctions plugin.

GHSA-H7WR-5H24-XRVW
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-01 00:00 – Updated: 2022-09-07 00:01OpenShift doesn't properly verify subdomain ownership, which allows route takeover. Once a custom route is created, the user must update the DNS provider by creating a canonical name (CNAME) record (if he likes to expose this route externally). The CNAME record should point the custom domain to the OpenShift router as the alias. In a case that the CNAME is not removed when the route is not in use anymore we are dealing with a dangling route. A malicious actor may take over the route.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
