Re: [xwiki-users] viewer=code

Thanks for the response (Caleb James DeLisle and Sergiu). I am using myxwiki.org so not sure if I have access to .vm files?!

I think a way of disabling viewer=code should be available ASAP. As it is not obvious (especially for new xwiki users/developers) that any code is publicly acessible and there is no clear way of hiding Groovy + Velocity code from the public (or search engines) this "feature" poses a great security risk. Someone unaware of this feature (like I was) and using a 3rd party API which requires authentication could easily embed and revile username/password to the whole world.
