CVE-2025-54385
XWiki Platform vulnerable to SQL injection through XWiki#searchDocuments API
Description
### Impact It's possible to execute any SQL query in Oracle by using the function like [DBMS_XMLGEN or DBMS_XMLQUERY](https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/arpls/DBMS_XMLGEN.html). The XWiki#searchDocuments APIs are not sanitizing the query at all and even if they force a specific select, Hibernate allows using any native function in an HQL query (for example in the WHERE). ### Patches This has been patched in 16.10.6 and 17.3.0-rc-1. ### Workarounds There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki. ### References https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-22728 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Jira XWiki.org](https://jira.xwiki.org/) * Email us at [Security Mailing List](mailto:security@xwiki.org)
