CVE-2025-55727

XWiki Remote Macros vulnerable to remote code execution from width parameter in the column macro

Published Sep 9, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 10 Critical EPSS 1.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
XWiki Remote Macros provides XWiki rendering macros that are useful when migrating content from Confluence. Starting in version 1.0 and prior to version 1.26.5, missing escaping of the width parameter in the column macro allows remote code execution for any user who can edit any page or who can access the CKEditor converter. The width parameter is used without escaping in XWiki syntax, thus allowing XWiki syntax injection which enables remote code execution when the macro has been installed by a user with programming right, or it at least allows executing Velocity code as the wiki admin. Version 1.26.5 contains a patch for the issue.
