CVE-2026-33229: XWiki vulnerable to remote code execution with script right through unprotected Velocity scripting API

April 8, 2026

An improperly protected scripting API allows any user with script right to bypass the sandboxing of the Velocity scripting API and execute, e.g., arbitrary Python scripts, allowing full access to the XWiki instance and thereby compromising the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole instance. Note that script right already constitutes a high level of access that we don’t recommend giving to untrusted users.
