XWiki Platform's Livetable results still allow reconstructing password hashes using 768 requests
XWiki discovered that the patch for GHSA-5cf8-vrr8-8hjm was insufficient and with slightly modified parameters to the LiveTableResults, it is still possible to discover password hashes one bit at a time, so with 768 requests, the full password salt and hash can be retrieved of a user.
The check for password (and email properties) has been adjusted in XWiki 18.0.0RC1, 17.10.13, 17.4.9 and 16.10.17.
The [patch](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/c4442716b02ffcdaa9d5e703b1db6203e36456fa#diff-5a739e5865b1f1ad9d79b724791be51b0095a0170cc078911c940478b13b949a) can be applied manually to the wiki page XWiki.LiveTableResultsMacros.
This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity none, availability none.
