# CVE-2025-32969: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server allows SQL injection in query endpoint of REST API

**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 80.0% , percentile 99.6: FIRST’s model estimates a 80.0% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99.6% 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-rest-server (Maven) >= 1.8, < 15.10.16, fixed in 15.10.16 ; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server (Maven) >= 16.0.0-rc-1, < 16.4.6, fixed in 16.4.6 ; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server (Maven) >= 16.5.0-rc-1, < 16.10.1, fixed in 16.10.1 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

XWiki is a generic wiki platform. In versions starting from 1.8 and prior to 15.10.16, 16.4.6, and 16.10.1, it is possible for a remote unauthenticated user to escape from the HQL execution context and perform a blind SQL injection to execute arbitrary SQL statements on the database backend, including when "Prevent unregistered users from viewing pages, regardless of the page rights" and "Prevent unregistered users from editing pages, regardless of the page rights" options are enabled. Depending on the used database backend, the attacker may be able to not only obtain confidential information such as password hashes from the database, but also execute UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE queries. This issue has been patched in versions 16.10.1, 16.4.6 and 15.10.16. There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki.

## Affected packages

- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server` >= 1.8, < 15.10.16 → fixed: 15.10.16
- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server` >= 16.0.0-rc-1, < 16.4.6 → fixed: 16.4.6
- Maven `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server` >= 16.5.0-rc-1, < 16.10.1 → fixed: 16.10.1

## Affected products (CVE record)

- xwiki xwiki-platform: >= 1.8, < 15.10.16, >= 16.0.0-rc-1, < 16.4.6, >= 16.5.0-rc-1, < 16.10.1

## Severity

- GitHub_M CVSS 4.0: 9.3 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`
- GitHub CVSS 4.0: 9.3 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 80.01% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 99.6.
