Associated Vulnerability

Title: XWiki Platform: Password and email exposure in xml.vm fields (CVE-2025-54125)
Description:XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. XWiki Platform Legacy Old Core and XWiki Platform Old Core versions 1.1 through 16.4.6, 16.5.0-rc-1 through 16.10.4 and 17.0.0-rc-1 through 17.1.0, the XML export of a page in XWiki that can be triggered by any user with view rights on a page by appending ?xpage=xml to the URL includes password and email properties stored on a document that aren't named password or email. This is fixed in versions 16.4.7, 16.10.5 and 17.2.0-rc-1. To work around this issue, the file templates/xml.vm in the deployed WAR can be deleted if the XML isn't needed. There isn't any feature in XWiki itself that depends on the XML export.

Description

A vulnerability in XWiki's XML view functionality exposes sensitive information such as passwords and email addresses that are stored in custom fields not explicitly named as password or email. This information disclosure occurs when accessing user profiles with the xml.vm template.
