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.
