CVE-2025-55729 is a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting XWiki Remote Macros versions 1.0 through 1.26.4. The flaw stems from insufficient escaping of the ac:type parameter within the ConfluenceLayoutSection macro, allowing XWiki syntax injection. This enables any authenticated user with page editing privileges to execute arbitrary code on the server. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 10.0 (CRITICAL), indicating a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While the EPSS score is low, the FAUCET Risk Score of 89/100 highlights its significant potential impact. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, suggesting low public awareness at this time. A fix is available in XWiki Remote Macros version 1.26.5.
