Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
It's possible with a simple request to perform deletion or renaming of tags without needing any confirmation, by using a CSRF attack.
### Patches
The problem has been patched in XWiki 13.10.7, 14.4.1 and 14.5RC1.
### Workarounds
It's possible to patch existing instances directly by editing the page Main.Tags and add this kind of check, in the code for renaming and for deleting:
```
#if (!$services.csrf.isTokenValid($request.get('form_token')))
#set ($discard = $response.sendError(401, "Wrong CSRF token"))
#end
```
