🛡️ CVE-2024-56158 — xwiki
Description
XWiki allows SQL injection in query endpoint of REST API with Oracle
Impact

The XWiki query validator does not sanitize functions that would be used in a simple select and Hibernate allows using any native function in an HQL query.

Workarounds
There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki.
