| Summary | XWiki Platform remote code execution from account via custom skins support
### Impact
Any user who can edit any page like their profile can create a custom skin with a template override that is executed with programming right, thus allowing remote code execution.
To reproduce, as a user without edit, script or admin right, add an object of class `XWiki.XWikiSkins` to your profile. Name it whatever you want and set the Base Skin to `flamingo`.
Add an object of class `XWikiSkinFileOverrideClass` and set the path to `macros.vm` and the content to:
```
#macro(mediumUserAvatar $username)
#resizedUserAvatar($username 50)
$services.logging.getLogger('Skin').error("I got programming: $services.security.authorization.hasAccess('programming')")
#end
```
Back to your profile, click `Test this skin`. Force a refresh, just in case.
If the error "Skin - I got programming: true" gets logged, the installation is vulnerable.
### Patches
This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.19, 15.5.4 and 15.10RC1.
### Workarounds
We're not aware of any workaround except upgrading.
