# CVE-2022-36097: XWiki Platform Attachment UI… | CubePath

## Description

XWiki Platform Attachment UI provides a macro to easily upload and select attachments for XWiki Platform, a generic wiki platform. Starting with version 14.0-rc-1 and prior to 14.4-rc-1, it's possible to store JavaScript in an attachment name, which will be executed by anyone trying to move the corresponding attachment. This issue has been patched in XWiki 14.4-rc-1\. As a workaround, one may copy \`moveStep1.vm\` to \`webapp/xwiki/templates/moveStep1.vm\` and replace vulnerable code with code from the patch.
