A new specimen of “infostealer” malware offers a disturbing feature: It monitors a target's browser for NSFW content, then takes simultaneous screenshots and webcam photos of the victim.

### Impact It's possible to get access and read configuration files by using URLs such as `http://localhost:8080/bin/ssx/Main/WebHome?resource=../../WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg&minify=false`. This can apparently be reproduced on Tomcat instances. ### Patches This has been patched in 17.4.0-rc-1, 16.10.7. ### Workarounds There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Jira XWiki.org](https://jira.xwiki.org/) * Email us at [Security Mailing List](mailto:security@xwiki.org) ### Attribution The vulnerability was reported by Gregor Neumann.
