Title: XWikiplatform Missing Authorization Vulnerability
Overview:

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. NOTE: The Realtime WYSIWYG Editor extension was strongexperimental/strong and thus strongnot recommended/strong in the versions affected by this vulnerability. It has become enabled by default and thus recommended starting with XWiki 16.9.0. A user with only strongedit right/strong can join a realtime editing session where others that where already there or that may join later have strongscript/strong or strongprogramming/strong access rights. This user can then insert strongscript rendering macros/strong that are executed for those users in the realtime session that have script or programming rights. The inserted scripts can be used to gain more access rights. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 15.10.2 16.4.1 and 16.6.0-rc-1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may either disable the realtime WYSIWYG editing by disabling the codexwiki-realtime/code CKEditor plugin from the WYSIWYG editor administration section or uninstall the Realtime WYSIWYG Editorextension (org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-realtime-wysiwyg-ui).
