This allows the attacker-supplied script to run in the victim's browser.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute malicious scripts in the context of the victim's browser session. This can lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or performing actions on behalf of the victim without their consent.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately upgrade XWiki Platform Flamingo Skin Resources and XWiki Platform Web Templates to versions 16.10.10 or later, and 17.4.2 or later, where the reflected XSS issue is fixed.
