XWiki Platform Old Core: Resource path traversal via /skin/ action endpoint in Jetty 12+
### Impact With Jetty 12+ a user can craft a URL to access any resource the Jetty instance is allowed to access. For example `http://[host]/xwiki/bin/skin/..%252f/..%252f..%252f..%252f..%252f..%252f..%252f..%252fetc/passwd` allows downloading the content of the /etc/passwd file, provided Jetty is allowed to read it, and if your XWiki webapp is loca...
