      Issue Summary

      Attachments without a page/blog container (e.g. a custom space logo (SPACEDESCRIPTION)) throw a HTTP 500 error when a REST API request is made for attachments.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create an attachment without page container - for example upload a space logo (`/spaces/configurespacelogo.action?key=TEST`)
      2. Run a REST API request such as:
      /rest/api/search?limit=100&expand=content.space,content.extension,content.history,content.history.lastUpdated,content.history.previousVersion,content.container,content.metadata&cql=type=attachment+order+by+lastmodified+asc&start=0

      Specifically, the following parameters will result in the issue:

      • content.history
      • content.history.lastUpdated
      • content.history.previousVersion

      Expected Results

      No error and attachments are returned successfully.

      Actual Results

      API returns 500 error with the following stack trace in logs:
