This rule detects attempts to access the sensitive file /webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.properties in XWiki installations, which is indicative of the information disclosure vulnerability described in CVE-2025-55749. The rule matches any HTTP request URI containing this path, using both lowercase and urldecode transforms to ensure case-insensitive and encoded variant matching. No additional zones or variables are needed since the attack is always performed by directly requesting this file. The labels section includes the correct CVE, ATT&CK, and CWE references. The test nuclei template is adjusted to expect a 403 response, which would indicate the WAF is blocking the unauthorized file access.

Validation checklist:

  • All value: fields are lowercase.
  • transform includes lowercase and urldecode.
  • No match.value contains capital letters.
  • Rule uses contains instead of regex as only a specific path is targeted.
