Vulnerability Data
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 9.8-rc-1 through 16.4.6, 16.5.0-rc-1 through 16.10.4, and 17.0.0-rc-1 through 17.1.0, any user…

with editing rights can create an XClass with a database list property that references a password property. When adding an object of that XClass, the content of that password property is displayed. In practice, with a standard rights setup, this means that any user with an account on the wiki can access password hashes of all users, and possibly other password properties (with hashed or plain storage) that are on pages that the user can view. This issue is fixed in versions 16.4.7, 16.10.5 and 17.2.0-rc-1.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces authorizations so that PII is not reachable by unauthorized actors.
Requires explicit verification that a recipient's authorizations match the sensitivity of shared PII.
Limits granted rights to the minimum needed, reducing the set of actors who can reach private data.
Documents the legal or consent basis required before any processing of PII occurs.
Implements consent mechanisms that directly block access absent the individual's permission.
Encrypts or otherwise protects stored PII against unauthorized retrieval.

CWE-359 does not impair RC.CO-04's ability to issue approved public recovery updates, yet any resulting PII exposure can partially undermine the outcome's overall efficacy and trust.
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.
Masking or anonymizing personal identifiers limits the amount of private personal information that can be disclosed through application outputs or logs.
Monitoring and quarantining outbound messages that contain personal or private data directly reduces the chance that such information will be disclosed to unauthorized recipients.
The explicit prohibition on copying personally identifiable information into development and test environments directly lowers the exposure of private personal data to staff or processes that should not see it.
Labeling, chain-of-custody, and access-control requirements limit the exposure of private personal information during any transfer method.
Mandating privacy procedures and a designated privacy officer helps ensure that private personal information is not disclosed without proper authorization or necessity.
The agreements impose enforceable restrictions on the handling of private personal information, thereby decreasing the risk that such data will be exposed to unauthorized parties.
