Details

XWiki configuration files can be accessed through the webjars API ### Impact It's possible to get access and read configuration files by using URLs such as `http://localhost:8080/xwiki/webjars/wiki%3Axwiki/..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2FWEB-INF%2Fxwiki.cfg`. The trick here is to encode the / which is decoded when parsing the URL segment, but not re-encoded when assembling the file path. ### Patches This has been patched in 17.4.0-rc-1, 16.10.7. ### Workarounds There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Jira XWiki.org](https://jira.xwiki.org/) * Email us at [Security Mailing List](mailto:security@xwiki.org)
