    Summary: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-xwiki vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting via HTML and raw macro

    Details: ### Impact The HTML macro does not systematically perform a proper neutralization of script-related html tags. As a result, any user able to use the html macro in XWiki, is able to introduce an XSS attack. This can be particularly dangerous since in a standard wiki, any user is able to use the html macro directly in their own user profile page. ### Patches The problem has been patched in XWiki 14.8RC1. The patch involve that the HTML macro are systematically cleaned up whenever the user does not have script right. ### Workarounds There's no workaround for this issue. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Jira](https://jira.xwiki.org) * Email us at [security ML](mailto:[email protected])
