> As reported by Canberk Bolat of ADEO Security in a private communication, there search.jsp script in jackrabbit-webapp is missing an escape when it injects the path of a "related:" query into the constructed XPath statement. Further analysis showed that this issue has no security implications, so we can treat this as a normal bug report.
