CVE-2026-48048

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. XWiki discovered that the patch for GHSA-5cf8-vrr8-8hjm was insufficient. Starting with version 6.2.1 and prior to versions 18.0.0RC1, 17.10.13, 17.4.9 and 16.10.17, with slightly modified parameters to the `LiveTableResults`, it is still possible to discover password hashes one bit at a time, so with 768 requests, the full password salt and hash can be retrieved of a user. The check for password (and email properties) has been adjusted in XWiki 18.0.0RC1, 17.10.13, 17.4.9 and 16.10.17. As a workaround, the patch can be applied manually to the wiki page `XWiki.LiveTableResultsMacros`.

      "value": "Plataforma XWiki es una plataforma wiki genérica. XWiki descubrió que el parche para GHSA-5cf8-vrr8-8hjm era insuficiente. A partir de la versión 6.2.1 y anterior a las versiones 18.0.0RC1, 17.10.13, 17.4.9 y 16.10.17, con parámetros ligeramente modificados para “LiveTableResults”, todavía es posible descubrir hashes de contraseña bit a bit, así, con 768 solicitudes, se puede recuperar el salt y el hash completos de la contraseña de un usuario. La verificación de contraseña (y propiedades de correo electrónico) se ha ajustado en XWiki 18.0.0RC1, 17.10.13, 17.4.9 y 16.10.17. Como solución alternativa, el parche se puede aplicar manualmente a la página wiki “XWiki.LiveTableResultsMacros”."
