Impact

One can execute any wiki content with the right of IconThemeSheet author by creating an icon theme with the following content:

}}}
{{async async="true"}}
{{groovy}}
  println("Hello from Groovy!")
{{/groovy}}
{{/async}}
{{{

Can be done by creating a new page or even through the user profile for users not having edit right.

Patches

This has been patched in XWiki 14.9, 14.4.6, and 13.10.10.
