# CVE-2025-32429: XWiki Platform vulnerable to SQL injection through getdeleteddocuments.vm template sort parameter

**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?

- 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 87.9% , percentile 99.8: FIRST’s model estimates a 87.9% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99.8% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war (Maven) >= 9.4-rc-1, < 16.10.6, fixed in 16.10.6 ; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war (Maven) >= 17.0.0-rc-1, < 17.3.0-rc-1, fixed in 17.3.0-rc-1 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
