Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The xwiki-platform-security-authentication-script Maven package, versions from 11.6 before 12.6.8 and from 12.7 before 12.10.4, lets a user with Script rights reset the record of authentication failures, although that action should require Programming rights. An attacker with Script rights could use this to disable the brute-force protection and then attempt password guessing. Upgrade to version 12.6.8 or 12.10.4, or later. No other workaround is given beyond limiting Script rights to trusted users.
