CVE-2025-31487 Details
Description
The XWiki JIRA extension provides various integration points between XWiki and JIRA (macros, UI, CKEditor plugin). If the JIRA macro is installed, any logged in XWiki user could edit his/her user profile wiki page and use that JIRA macro, specifying a fake JIRA URL that returns an XML specifying a DOCTYPE pointing to a local file on the XWiki server host and displaying that file's content in one of the returned JIRA fields (such as the summary or description for example). The vulnerability has been patched in the JIRA Extension v8.6.5.
A vulnerability exists in the XWiki JIRA extension, specifically in versions 4.2 and later, prior to 8.6.5. This vulnerability allows any logged-in XWiki user to exploit the JIRA macro by inserting a fake JIRA URL that returns an XML document with a DOCTYPE referencing a local file on the XWiki server. The content of this file can then be displayed in one of the JIRA response fields, such as the summary or description. The issue arises from the JIRA macro's failure to properly validate or sanitize the URL input, enabling the injection of malicious XML that can be processed by the JIRA integration.
Users can upgrade to XWiki JIRA Extension version 8.6.5 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
