If the logs contain \"ERROR PDFClass - I got programming: true\", the instance is vulnerable.\n\n### Patches\nThis vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.20, 15.5.4 and 15.10-rc-1.\n\n### Workarounds\nIf PDF templates are not typically used on the instance, an administrator can create the document `XWiki.PDFClass` and block its edition, after making sure that it does not contain a `style` attribute.\nOtherwise, the instance needs to be updated.\n\n### References\n- https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-21337\n-
