## Description

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Any guest can perform arbitrary remote code execution through a request to \`SolrSearch\`. This impacts the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. To reproduce on an instance, without being logged in, go to \`\<host\>/xwiki/bin/get/Main/SolrSearch?media=rss&text=%7D%7D%7D%7B%7Basync%20async%3Dfalse%7D%7D%7B%7Bgroovy%7D%7Dprintln%28"Hello%20from"%20%2B%20"%20search%20text%3A"%20%2B%20%2823%20%2B%2019%29%29%7B%7B%2Fgroovy%7D%7D%7B%7B%2Fasync%7D%7D%20\`. If there is an output, and the title of the RSS feed contains \`Hello from search text:42\`, then the instance is vulnerable. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 15.10.11, 16.4.1 and 16.5.0RC1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may edit \`Main.SolrSearchMacros\` in \`SolrSearchMacros.xml\` on line 955 to match the \`rawResponse\` macro in \`macros.vm\#L2824\` with a content type of \`application/xml\`, instead of simply outputting the content of the feed.

## CISA required action
