XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. In versions between 17.0.0-rc1 to 17.2.2 and versions 16.10.5 and below, it's possible to execute any SQL query in Oracle by using the function like DBMS_XMLGEN or DBMS_XMLQUERY. The XWiki#searchDocuments APIs pass queries directly to Hibernate without sanitization. Even when these APIs enforce a specific SELECT clause, attackers can still inject malicious code through HQL's native function support in other parts of the query (such as the WHERE clause). This is fixed in versions 16.10.6 and 17.3.0-rc-1.

XWiki Platform vulnerable to SQL injection through XWiki#searchDocuments API

CVE-2025-54385 [HIGH] XWiki Platform vulnerable to SQL injection through XWiki#searchDocuments API
XWiki Platform vulnerable to SQL injection through XWiki#searchDocuments API
### Impact
It's possible to execute any SQL query in Oracle by using the function like [DBMS_XMLGEN or DBMS_XMLQUERY](https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/arpls/DBMS_XMLGEN.html).
The XWiki#searchDocuments APIs are not sanitizing the query at all and even if they force a specific select, Hibernate allows using any native function in an HQL query (for example in the WHERE).
### Patches
This has been patched in 16.10.6 and 17.3.0-rc-1.
### Workarounds
There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki.
