CVE-2026-44179 Details
Description
XWiki Remote Macros provides XWiki rendering macros that are useful when migrating content from Confluence. From 1.13 until 1.14.5, the `excerpt-include` macro does not properly escape the included page's title and executes `excerpt` content with the macro's rights. The title handling in `xwiki-pro-macros-ui/src/main/resources/Confluence/Macros/ExcerptInclude.xml` and the rendering of `excerpt` content into XWiki syntax both allow syntax injection. Any user able to edit a page, even without script or programming rights, can supply executable macro syntax in the title or `excerpt` and cause remote code execution when the page is included. This affects confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. This issue is fixed in version 1.14.5.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in the XWiki Remote Macros Excerpt-Include macro, affecting versions 1.13 prior to 1.14.5. The vulnerability arises because the macro does not properly escape the titles of included pages, allowing for syntax injection. Additionally, the macro executes included excerpt content with its own permissions. Any user who can edit a page, even without scripting or programming rights, can exploit this by injecting executable macro syntax into the title or excerpt, leading to remote code execution. This vulnerability has critical implications, allowing unauthorized code execution that affects the entire XWiki installation.
Users can update to XWiki Remote Macros version 1.14.5 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
