Q: How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)

🔍 **Self-Check**: 1. Check XWiki version (< 15.0-rc-1). 2. Audit **Include** directives in macros/templates. 3. Verify if programming permissions are leaking to included content.

Q: Is it fixed officially? (Patch/Mitigation)

✅ **Fixed**: **Yes**. 🔧 **Patch**: Upgrade to **XWiki Platform 15.0-rc-1** or later. 📝 **Advisory**: GHSA-qcj3-wpgm-qpxh.

Q: What if no patch? (Workaround)

🛑 **No Patch Workaround**: 1. Restrict **Include** usage to trusted macros only. 2. Implement strict **Authorization Checks** on included resources. 3. Limit network access to authenticated users only.

Q: Is it urgent? (Priority Suggestion)

🔥 **Urgency**: **HIGH**. 📊 **CVSS**: **9.8** (Critical). ⚡ **Action**: Patch immediately due to high impact and remote exploitability with low auth requirements.
