Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
It's possible to execute any SQL query in Oracle by using the function like [DBMS_XMLGEN or DBMS_XMLQUERY](https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/arpls/DBMS_XMLGEN.html).
The XWiki#searchDocuments APIs are not sanitizing the query at all and even if they force a specific select, Hibernate allows using any native function in an HQL query (for example in the WHERE).
### Patches
This has been patched in 16.10.6 and 17.3.0-rc-1.
### Workarounds
There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki.
