Description
XWiki is an open-source wiki software platform. From 16.7.0 to 16.10.11, 17.4.4, or 17.7.0, in an instance which is using the XWiki Jetty package (XJetty), a context is exposed to statically access any file located in the webapp/ folder. It allows accessing files which might contains credentials. Fixed in 16.10.11, 17.4.4, and 17.7.0.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-tool-jetty-resources. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-tool-jetty-resources to 16.10.11 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-55749 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2025-55749 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2025-55749. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
