CVE-2025-58365
XWiki Blog Application: Privilege Escalation (PR) from account through blog content
Impact
### Impact The blog application in XWiki allowed remote code execution for any user who has edit right on any page. Normally, these are all logged-in users as they can edit their own user profile. To exploit, it is sufficient to add an object of type `Blog.BlogPostClass` to any page and to add some script macro with the exploit code to the "Content" field of that object. ### Patches The vulnerability has been patched in the blog application version 9.14 by executing the content of blog posts with the rights of the appropriate author. ### Workarounds We're not aware of any workarounds. ### Resources * https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/BLOG-191 * https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-blog/commit/b98ab6f17da3029576f42d12b4442cd555c7e0b4
