# CVE-2023-46732: XWiki Platform vulnerable to  reflected cross-site scripting through revision parameter in content menu

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 2.2% , percentile 82: FIRST’s model estimates a 2.2% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 82% of all scored CVEs (elevated). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs a user to click or open something. Phishing makes that realistic, but it is not wormable.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources (Maven) >= 9.7-rc-1, < 14.10.14, fixed in 14.10.14 ; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources (Maven) >= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.5.1, fixed in 15.5.1 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. XWiki is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting (RXSS) via the rev parameter that is used in the content of the content menu without escaping. If an attacker can convince a user to visit a link with a crafted parameter, this allows the attacker to execute arbitrary actions in the name of the user, including remote code (Groovy) execution in the case of a user with programming right, compromising the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. This has been patched in XWiki 15.6 RC1, 15.5.1 and 14.10.14. The patch in commit 04e325d57 can be manually applied without upgrading (or restarting) the instance. Users are advised to upgrade or to manually apply the patch. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

## Affected packages

- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources` >= 9.7-rc-1, < 14.10.14 → fixed: 14.10.14
- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources` >= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.5.1 → fixed: 15.5.1

## Affected products (CVE record)

- xwiki xwiki-platform: >= 9.7-rc-1, < 14.10.14, >= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.5.1

## Severity

- GitHub_M CVSS 3.1: 9.7 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.6 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 2.19% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 82.
