Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Maven package org.xwiki.contrib.oidc:oidc-authenticator, versions 2.17.1 up to but not including 2.18.2, is vulnerable. A user with only VIEW access to a user profile can create a token for that user, and on XWiki instances that allow token authentication this lets them authenticate as any user they can view. Upgrade to version 2.18.2; the only listed workaround is to disable token access.
