  - Affected versions of Atlassian Confluence Data Center in Windows installations contain a security misconfiguration 
    in which the confluence.cfg.xml file is readable by users in the BUILTIN/Users group by default. An attacker with 
    local access to the Windows host with Confluence Data Center installed within the BUILTIN/Users group can read 
    sensitive information within the confluence.cfg.xml configuration file which could lead to local privilege 
    escalation as the Confluence installation user.
