Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

XWiki's xwiki-platform-rest-server is vulnerable in versions before 16.10.11, from 17.0.0-rc-1 before 17.4.4, and from 17.5.0-rc-1 before 17.7.0-rc-1. The REST API does not limit how many items a single request can return, so a request for a large wiki's spaces can exhaust memory and make the wiki slow or unavailable. Upgrade to 16.10.11, 17.4.4, 17.7.0-rc-1 or later. The source lists no workaround other than blocking the affected REST resources at a proxy in front of XWiki.
