See all- CVE-2026-44179Critical
The `excerpt-include` macro in XWiki Remote Macros does not properly escape the included page's title and executes `excerpt` content with the macro's rights.

Any user able to edit a page, even without script rights, can supply executable macro syntax and cause remote code execution when the page is included.
