# CVE-2024-31986: XWiki Platform CSRF remote code execution through scheduler job's document reference

**Signal:** Critical, preconditions apply. Severe if exploited, but exploitation needs conditions that may not apply to you. (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 0.5% , percentile 45: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.5% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 45% of all scored CVEs (low). 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-scheduler-ui (Maven) >= 3.1, < 14.10.19, fixed in 14.10.19 ; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-ui (Maven) >= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.5.4, fixed in 15.5.4 ; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-ui (Maven) >= 15.6-rc-1, < 15.9, fixed in 15.9 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 3.1 and prior to versions 4.10.19, 15.5.4, and 15.10-rc-1, by creating a document with a special crafted documented reference and an XWiki.SchedulerJobClass XObject, it is possible to execute arbitrary code on the server whenever an admin visits the scheduler page or the scheduler page is referenced, e.g., via an image in a comment on a page in the wiki. The vulnerability has been fixed in XWiki 14.10.19, 15.5.5, and 15.9. As a workaround, apply the patch manually by modifying the Scheduler.WebHome page.

## Affected packages

- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-ui` >= 3.1, < 14.10.19 → fixed: 14.10.19
- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-ui` >= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.5.4 → fixed: 15.5.4
- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-ui` >= 15.6-rc-1, < 15.9 → fixed: 15.9

## Affected products (CVE record)

- xwiki xwiki-platform: >= 3.1, < 14.10.19, >= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.5.4, >= 15.6-rc-1, < 15.9

## Severity

- GitHub_M CVSS 3.1: 9.1 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.0 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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 poc , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 0.55% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 45.
