Summary

CVE-2025-49584 is a high-severity Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data (CWE-201) vulnerability in Xwiki Xwiki. Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 30th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

XWiki is a generic wiki platform. In XWiki Platform versions 10.9 through 16.4.6, 16.5.0-rc-1 through 16.10.2, and 17.0.0-rc-1, the title of every single page whose reference is known can be accessed through the REST API as long as an XClass…

more

with a page property is accessible, this is the default for an XWiki installation. This allows an attacker to get titles of pages whose reference is known, one title per request. This doesn't affect fully private wikis as the REST endpoint checks access rights on the XClass definition. The impact on confidentiality depends on the strategy for page names. By default, page names match the title, so the impact should be low but if page names are intentionally obfuscated because the titles are sensitive, the impact could be high. This has been fixed in XWiki 16.4.7, 16.10.3 and 17.0.0 by adding access control checks before getting the title of any page.

Directly enforces policy-based information flow rules that block transmission of sensitive data to unauthorized actors.

Enforces authorizations on logical access so that sensitive data is not released to unauthorized recipients.

Requires validation of outbound information to ensure sensitive content is not disclosed in responses or messages.

Labelling makes sensitive data visible to developers and prevents accidental inclusion in outbound messages.

mitigates

Information-transfer rules directly govern what data may be sent to external parties.

PII-protection requirements reduce the chance of sending personal data to unauthorized recipients.

mitigates

DLP controls inspect and block outbound flows that contain sensitive information.
