Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Any user with script rights can perform arbitrary remote code execution by adding instances of `XWiki.ConfigurableClass` to any page. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation.
To reproduce on a instance, as a user with script rights, edit your user profile and add an object of type `XWiki.ConfigurableClass` ("Custom configurable sections").
Set "Display in section" and "Display in category" to `other`, "Scope" to `Wiki and all spaces` and "Heading" to:
```
#set($codeToExecute = 'Test') #set($codeToExecuteResult = '{{async}}{{groovy}}services.logging.getLogger("attacker").error("Attack from Heading succeeded!"){{/groovy}}{{/async}}')
```
Save the page and view it, then add `?sheet=XWiki.AdminSheet&viewer=content§ion=other` to the URL.
If the logs contain "attacker - Attack from Heading succeeded!", then the instance is vulnerable.
### Patches
This has been patched in XWiki 15.10.9 and 16.3.0.
### Workarounds
We're not aware of any workaround except upgrading.
