Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Two XWiki packages, xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources and xwiki-platform-web-templates, are affected from 6.2-milestone-1 up to 16.10.10 and from 17.0.0-rc-1 up to 17.4.2. An attacker can send a victim a crafted link to a deletion confirmation page, and the attacker's script runs when the victim clicks "No". If the victim has admin or programming rights, the attacker can perform arbitrary actions, including remote code execution. Upgrade to 16.10.10 or 17.4.2. The source gives no other workaround beyond applying the patch manually to the templates in the WAR and restarting XWiki.
