  1. Login to Geoserver web panel
    2 Go to Settings - Global
  2. Change logging profile to QUITE_LOGGING.properties
  3. Change log location: replace “logs/geoserver.log” to “/etc/passwd”
  4. Go to Geoserver Logs

Result: you will see “/etc/passwd” (and even download whole file by link below log text)
So it’s possible to read and display any local file from server with only geoserver web interface
