SCA: security update for org.xwiki.contrib.changerequest:application-changerequest-default (GHSA-2fr7-cc7p-p45q)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408891

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - XWiki Change Request is an XWiki application allowing to request changes on a wiki without publishing
 directly the changes. Change request allows to edit any page by default, and the changes are then exported
 in an XML file that anyone can download. So it's possible for an attacker to obtain password hash of users
 by performing an edit on the user profiles and then downloading the XML file that has been created. This
 is also true for any document that might contain password field and that a user can view. This
 vulnerability impacts all version of Change Request, but the impact depends on the rights that has been
 set on the wiki since it requires for the user to have the Change request right (allowed by default) and
 view rights on the page to target. This issue cannot be easily exploited in an automated way. The patch
 consists in denying to users the right of editing pages that contains a password field with change
 request. It means that already existing change request for those pages won't be removed by the patch,
 administrators needs to take care of it. The patch is provided in Change Request 1.10, administrators
 should upgrade immediately. It's possible to workaround the vulnerability by denying manually the Change
 request right on some spaces, such as XWiki space which will include any user profile by default.
