xwiki-platform vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in Annotations
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-annotation-ui | >= 2.3-milestone-1, < 13.10.11 | 13.10.11 |
| Maven | org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-annotation-ui | >= 14.0-rc-1, < 14.4.7 | 14.4.7 |

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The annotation displayer does not execute the content in a restricted context. This allows executing anything with the right of the author of any document by annotating the document.
To reproduce: add an annotation with the content `{{groovy}}print "hello"{{/groovy}}` and click the yellow scare to get a display of the annotation inline.
The result is "hello" but it should be an error suggesting that it's not allowed to use the groovy macro.
### Patches
This has been patched in XWiki 13.10.11, 14.4.7 and 14.10.
### Workarounds
There is no easy workaround except to upgrade.
