[GeoNetwork-devel] Bug: Security hole in Jeeves [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Folks,

I’d hate to sound alarmist but is anybody besides me bothered by the fact that:

http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/xml/user-profiles.xml

actually provides the file?

Surely this should be in WEB-INF so that it can’t be served as content?

Regards,

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Yes :slight_smile:

Doesn't seem hard to fix though - looks like two small changes in Jeeves and one hard coded path in gast. I've done that and will test it for a while locally before committing it to the BlueNet MEST sandbox with other stuff.

Cheers and thanks,
Simon
