CVE-2025-32430

Workarounds

The affected templates can be patched manually in the WAR by applying the same changes as in the patch.

Attribution

The vulnerability involving job_status_json has been reported as "Unauth Reflected XSS" vulnerability by Aleksey Solovev (Positive Technologies), and the vulnerability involving distribution has been reported as "Auth Admin Reflected XSS" vulnerability by Evgeny Kopytin (Positive Technologies). According to our analysis, both vulnerabilities can be exploited against both unauthenticated and authenticated victims (including victims with admin privileges) which is why we publish them together in this advisory.

Reflected XSS vulnerabilities in two templates allow an attacker to execute malicious JavaScript code in the context of the victim's session by getting the victim to visit an attacker-controlled URL. PoC URLs are /xwiki/bin/view/Main/?xpage=job_status_json&jobId=asdf&translationPrefix=<img src=1 onerror=alert(document.domain)> and /xwiki/bin/view/Main/?xpage=distribution&extensionId=%3Cimg src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)%3E&extensionVersionConstraint=%3Cimg src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)%3E. This allows the attacker to perform arbitrary actions using the permissions of the victim.

Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session. Typical impact: session or credential theft, and actions taken as the user.

Kodem intelligence

The problem has been patched in XWiki 16.4.8, 16.10.6 and 17.3.0RC1 by adding escaping in the affected templates.

1. What is CVE-2025-32430? CVE-2025-32430 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (maven), affecting versions >= 4.2-milestone-3, < 16.4.8. It is fixed in 16.4.8, 16.10.6, 17.3.0-rc-1. Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session.
2. Which versions of org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates are affected by CVE-2025-32430? org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (maven) versions >= 4.2-milestone-3, < 16.4.8 is affected.
3. Is there a fix for CVE-2025-32430? Yes. CVE-2025-32430 is fixed in 16.4.8, 16.10.6, 17.3.0-rc-1. Upgrade to this version or later.
4. Is CVE-2025-32430 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-32430 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

5. What actually determines whether CVE-2025-32430 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
6. How do I fix CVE-2025-32430?
