CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe XWiki Platform is vulnerable to an issue where insufficient patching allows attackers to retrieve user password hashes incrementally by exploiting the `LiveTableResults` feature, potentially compromising user accounts. This vulnerability affects versions 6.2.1 through 18.0.0RC1, as well as specific earlier versions, and can be exploited with 768 requests to fully extract a user's password salt and hash. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize applying the latest updates or implementing the manual workaround to mitigate the risk of credential theft.

Original NVD 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`.
