Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
XWiki's xwiki-platform-skin-skinx Maven package, versions from 4.2-milestone-2 before 16.10.7, lets an attacker read XWiki configuration files through the jsx and sx endpoints using path traversal in a crafted request. The source says this can apparently be reproduced on Tomcat instances, and gives no details about required privileges. Upgrade to 16.10.7 or later; the source lists no workaround other than upgrading.
