Description
Impact
Any user with SCRIPT right (EDIT right before XWiki 7.4) can read any file located in the XWiki WAR (for example xwiki.cfg and xwiki.properties) through XWiki#invokeServletAndReturnAsString:
$xwiki.invokeServletAndReturnAsString("/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg")
Patches
It has been patched in XWiki versions 12.10.9, 13.4.3 and 13.7-rc-1.
Workarounds
The only workaround is to give SCRIPT right only to trusted users.
