I'll check that.
I realized I wrote a mistake in the first sentence. I didn't see the
problem of code being shown or something like that, but when I call
the resetPassword function,
the system show the _Email_ address of the username for whom I call
the resetpassword.
And because anybody can call this function for any user, as well as,
in the default setting, and for password reset and other things to
work properly, the pages that show all usernames are viewable by
unregistered users, people can harvest email addresses from all users
on the wiki.
But yes, The code viewing and execution stuff is interesting for other
threads I started these days and for the general idea that I usuall
don't like to make the whole XWiki space viewable by unregistered
users.
