Impact

It allows accessing files which might contains credentials, like http://myhots/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg, http://myhots/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.properties or http://myhots/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml.

Patches

This has been patched in 16.10.11, 17.4.4, 17.7.0.

Workarounds

The workaround is to modify the start xwiki.sh script following https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/compare/8b68d8a70b43f25391b3ee48477d7eb71b95cf4b...99a04a0e2143583f5154a43e02174155da7e8e10.
