XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Versions 6.2-milestone-1 through 16.10.9 and 17.0.0-rc-1 through 17.4.1 of both XWiki Platform Flamingo Skin Resources and XWiki Platform Web Templates are vulnerable to a reflected XSS attack through a deletion confirmation message.

This issue is fixed in versions 16.10.10 and 17.4.2 of both XWiki Platform Flamingo Skin Resources and XWiki Platform Web Templates.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in XWiki Platform versions 6.2-milestone-1 through 16.10.9, as well as 17.0.0-rc-1 through 17.4.1. This vulnerability exists within both the XWiki Platform Flamingo Skin Resources and XWiki Platform Web Templates. The issue arises when an attacker injects a script into a deletion confirmation message, which is executed if the victim clicks the 'No' button. Notably, if the victim has admin or programming rights, this could lead to remote code execution on the XWiki installation.
Users can update to XWiki Platform versions 16.10.10 or 17.4.2 to address this vulnerability. For version 17.5.0, the same patch applies. The patch can also be manually applied to the templates in the WAR file, followed by a restart of XWiki.
