SCA: security update for backdrop/backdrop (GHSA-3862-c622-v4fp)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409389

Description

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

 - A stored Cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in Text Editors and Formats in Backdrop CMS before 1.24.2 allows
 remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the name parameter. When a user is editing any
 content type (e.g., page, post, or card) as an admin, the stored XSS payload is executed upon selecting a
 malicious text formatting option. NOTE: the vendor disputes the security relevance of this finding because
 "any administrator that can configure a text format could easily allow Full HTML anywhere."
 (CVE-2023-31045)
