Very low probability of exploitation
EPSS predicts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days based on real-world threat data, complementing CVSS severity scores with actual risk assessment.
It's possible using comments to inject CSS that would transform the full wiki in a link area leading to a malicious page. All versions of XWiki are impacted by this kind of attack.
The problem has been patched not by preventing injecting CSS in comments, which is currently a feature of XWiki, but by requiring confirmation from users when driving them to untrusted domains after clicking on a link, thus preventing any click-jacking attack. This security measure has been put in place in XWiki 17.9.0, 17.4.6, 16.10.13.
There's no out-of-the-box workaround, but it should be possible to partly reuse the javascript code provided for the security measure in a JSX object inside the wiki, to request the same kind of confirmation.
