the default configuration for the dav.root is /dav, so for a requirement we have recently changes it to /crx/repository, will there be any security issues because of this change in Apache sling simple webdav servlet?

 

dav.create-absolute-uri=B"true"
type.content="nt:resource"
type.noncollections="nt:file"
filter.prefixes=["rep","jcr"]
dav.realm="Sling\ WebDAV"
dav.root="/crx/repository"
filter.types=""
filter.uris=""
type.collections="sling:Folder"
collection.types=["nt:file","nt:resource"]

Besides the "usual" recommendation to shut it down in production, I don't see any immediate problem with it. The question remains why you have to change it at all 🙂

We wanted to apply HTTP OPTIONS method to be blocked in AEM, so we are using Apache sling referrer filter to add OPTIONS method, so we had to update the dav root inorder for that configuration to work.
