Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The xwiki-platform-wiki-rest-default REST module (Maven org.xwiki.platform) is vulnerable in versions from 5.4-rc-1 up to 15.10.15, from 16.0.0-rc-1 up to 16.4.6, and from 16.5.0-rc-1 up to 16.10.0. Any user, without special privileges, can use the WikiManager REST API to create a new wiki and become its administrator, which allows further attacks on the wiki farm. Upgrade to 15.10.15, 16.4.6, or 16.10.0; no workaround is listed.
