Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The xwiki-rendering-transformation-macro Maven package (org.xwiki.rendering) is affected in versions from 4.2-milestone-1 up to 13.10.11, from 14.0 up to 14.4.7, and from 14.5 up to 14.10. A user who can add comments can use nested macros to run script macros that are normally blocked in restricted mode, which allows remote code execution. Upgrade to 13.10.11, 14.4.7, or 14.10. Until then, disabling comments for untrusted users reduces exposure, though users with edit rights can still add comments through the object editor.
