## Machine-written summary

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

> XWiki's org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-webjars-api package is vulnerable in versions 7.1.4 up to 16.10.7 and 17.0.0-rc-1 up to 17.4.0-rc-1. A remote attacker can craft a URL to the webjars API and read configuration files, such as the WEB-INF xwiki.cfg file. Upgrade to 16.10.7 or 17.4.0-rc-1; the source lists no workaround other than upgrading. The org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-webjars package, versions 6.1-milestone-2 through 7.1.3, is also affected, and no fixed version is listed for it.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-qww7-89xh-x7m7>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
