# CVE-2024-31984: XWiki Platform: Remote code execution through space title and Solr space facet

**Signal:** High exploit likelihood. EPSS ranks it in the top 5% of all CVEs for likely exploitation in the next 30 days. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Not in CISA KEV , but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
- EPSS 83.0% , percentile 99.7: FIRST’s model estimates a 83.0% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99.7% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (low (any account)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui (Maven) >= 7.2-rc-1, < 14.10.20, fixed in 14.10.20 ; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui (Maven) >= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.5.4, fixed in 15.5.4 ; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui (Maven) >= 15.6-rc-1, < 15.10-rc-1, fixed in 15.10-rc-1 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 7.2-rc-1 and prior to versions 4.10.20, 15.5.4, and 15.10-rc-1, by creating a document with a specially crafted title, it is possible to trigger remote code execution in the (Solr-based) search in XWiki. This allows any user who can edit the title of a space (all users by default) to execute any Groovy code in the XWiki installation which compromises the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.20, 15.5.4 and 15.10 RC1. As a workaround, manually apply the patch to the Main.SolrSpaceFacet page.

## Affected packages

- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui` >= 7.2-rc-1, < 14.10.20 → fixed: 14.10.20
- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui` >= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.5.4 → fixed: 15.5.4
- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui` >= 15.6-rc-1, < 15.10-rc-1 → fixed: 15.10-rc-1

## Affected products (CVE record)

- xwiki xwiki-platform: >= 7.2-rc-1, < 14.10.20, >= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.5.4, >= 15.6-rc-1, < 15.10-rc-1

## Severity

- GitHub_M CVSS 3.1: 10 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.9 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/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 poc , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 83.00% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 99.7.
