Quick fix
GHSA-6pfc-w86r-54q6 — org.geoserver.web:gs-web-app: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>2.25.1</version> for org.geoserver.web:gs-web-appDetails
### Impact
The welcome and about page includes version and revision information about the software in use (including library and components used).
This information is sensitive from a security point of view because it allows software used by the server to be easily identified.
### Proof of Concept
