CVE-2024-38369: XWiki programming rights may be inherited by inclusion
The content of a document included using {{include reference="targetdocument"/}} is executed with the right of the includer and not with the right of its author.
This means that any user able to modify the target document can impersonate the author of the content which used the include macro.
