# CVE-2025-55747: XWiki configuration files can be accessed through the webjars API

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 1.7% , percentile 77: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.7% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 77% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-webjars-api (Maven) >= 7.1.4, < 16.10.7, fixed in 16.10.7 ; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-webjars-api (Maven) >= 17.0.0-rc-1, < 17.4.0-rc-1, fixed in 17.4.0-rc-1 ; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-webjars (Maven) >= 6.1-miletone-2, <= 7.1.3, no fixed version listed . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
