Vulnerability Data
XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 3.5-milestone-1 and prior to versions 14.4.8, 14.10.4, and 15.0-rc-1, the mail obfuscation configuration was not fully taken into account. While the mail displayed to the end user was obfuscated, the…

rest response was also containing the mail unobfuscated and users were able to filter and sort on the unobfuscated, allowing them to infer the mail content. The consequence was the possibility to retrieve the email addresses of all users even when obfuscated. This has been patched in XWiki 14.4.8, 14.10.4, and 15.0-rc-1.

Mitigating Controls
Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Controls whether organization resources are exposed to external system spheres by permitting or prohibiting their use.
The control ensures information is not released into a security sphere where the recipient lacks matching access authorizations.
The control ensures information resources are not exposed to the incorrect (public) sphere through review and authorization.
Protects against data mining that would expose resources to unauthorized spheres by enforcing detection and controls.
Restricts information flows to ensure resources are not exposed to incorrect or unauthorized spheres.
Controlling internal connections prevents exposure of resources to unintended internal spheres.
Knowing exact processing and storage locations helps avoid exposure of resources to incorrect spheres.
The control prevents exposure of the media resource to the wrong security sphere.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Information-transfer rules can prevent unintended disclosure of private resources outside the product.
Access-control mechanisms limit who can receive resources that should remain internal.
A.5.18 governs the provisioning, review, and revocation of authorized access rights to already-authenticated identities; it has no bearing on whether a product transmits a private resource into an untrusted sphere during its own operation.
Data-leakage-prevention technologies specifically block unintended transmission of sensitive resources.
A.8.3's core (access restriction per policies, per-user/group rights, isolation, dynamic techniques, authentication, time-bound access, encryption, monitoring, alerts) directly stops untrusted parties from exploiting leaked private resources in most transmission scenarios; the bounded remainder is cases where the leak is not an access-control decision at all (e.g. the resource is deliberately public but still contains unintended private data).
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
