GitHub Security Advisory

Advisory Details
### Impact
Is it possible for a user without Script or Programming rights to craft a URL pointing to a page with arbitrary JavaScript.
This requires social engineer to trick a user to follow the URL.
#### Reproduction steps
1. As a user without script or programming right, create a (non-terminal) document named `" + alert(1) + "` (the quotes need to be part of the name).
1. Edit the class.
1. Add a string property named `"test"`.
1. Edit using the object editor and add an object of the created class
1. Get an admin to open `<xwiki-server>/xwiki/bin/view/%22%20%2B%20alert(1)%20%2B%20%22/?viewer=display&type=object&property=%22%20%2B%20alert(1)%20%2B%20%22.WebHome.test&mode=edit` where `<xwiki-server>` is the URL of your XWiki installation.
### Patches
This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.21, 15.5.5, 15.10.6 and 16.0.0.
### Workarounds
