Machine-written summary

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

XWiki Platform's xwiki-platform-rest-server Maven package, versions 17.0.0-rc-1 up to 17.4.2 and 4.3-milestone-1 up to 16.10.9, is vulnerable to HQL injection through the orderField parameter of the wiki and space search REST API. The source describes the injection as hard to exploit, but an attacker who can reach the endpoint may be able to alter the query. Upgrade to 17.4.2 or 16.10.9; the source lists no workaround other than upgrading.
