GHSA-6qvp-39mm-95v8: com.xwiki.confluencepro:application-confluence-migrator-pro-ui Remote Code Execution via unescaped translations

Impact

A user that doesn’t have programming rights can execute arbitrary code when creating a page using the Migration Page template.
A possible attack vector is the following:

• Create a page and add the following content:

  confluencepro.job.question.advanced.input={{/html}} {{async async="true" cached="false" context="doc.reference"}}{{groovy}}println(“hello from groovy!”){{/groovy}}{{/async}}

• Use the object editor to add an object of type XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass with scope USER.

• Access an unexisting page using the MigrationTemplate

  http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/Page123?template=ConfluenceMigratorPro.Code.MigrationTemplate

It is expected that {{/html}} {{async async="true" cached="false" context="doc.reference"}}{{groovy}}println(“hello from groovy!”){{/groovy}}{{/async}} will be present on the page, however, hello from groovy will be printed.
