CVE-2025-55749

⚡ A sneaky context in XWiki's Jetty package lets anyone access any file in the webapp/ directory! This means sensitive files, including possible credentials, are just waiting to be discovered. 🔍 Think of it like a restaurant with an open kitchen. Customers can freely stroll in and see everything the chef is cooking, including secret recipes — some of which might be highly confidential. That's essentially what's happening here with the webapp/ folder! If an attacker exploits this vulnerability, they could easily access sensitive files that contain credentials or other confidential information. It’s like leaving the door to your data cellar wide open, inviting anyone to grab what they want. This could lead to serious data breaches and unauthorized access to your systems!

With a quick update and some access control tweaks, you'll have your XWiki securely locked down in no time! 🛡️
