Machine-written summary

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

XWiki Platform (org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war) versions from 6.3-milestone-2 up to 13.10.5 and from 14.0-rc-1 up to 14.3-rc-1 contain an SQL injection flaw in getdocuments.vm, where the unsanitized sort request parameter is used to order returned documents. Any user can exploit this to inject HQL, which may expose confidential data such as password hashes and, depending on the database backend, allow UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE queries. Upgrade to 13.10.5 or 14.3-rc-1; no workaround other than upgrading is listed.
