Details

### Impact
It's possible to display any page you cannot access through the combination of the async and display macro.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable comments for guests by giving guests comment rights
2. As a guest, create a comment with content ```{{async}}{{display reference="Menu.WebHome" /}}{{/async}}```
3. Open the comments viewer from the menu (appends ?viewer=comments to the URL)
-> the `Menu.WebHome` is displayed while the expectation would be to have an error that the current user is not allowed to see it
### Patches
The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 15.0-rc-1, 14.10.3, 14.4.8, and 13.10.11.
### Workarounds
