Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Anyone can access the metadata of any attachment in the wiki using the wiki attachment REST endpoint. It's not filtering the result depending on current user rights, a not authenticated user could exploit this even in a totally private wiki.
To reproduce:
* remove view from guest on the whole wiki
* logout
* access http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Sandbox/pages/WebHome/attachments
You get a list of attachments, while the expected result should be an empty list.
### Patches
This vulnerability has been fixed in XWiki 14.10.22, 15.10.12, 16.7.0-rc-1 and 16.4.3.
### Workarounds
We're not aware of any workaround except upgrading.
