SCA: security update for @webiny/react-rich-text-renderer (GHSA-3x59-vrmc-5mx6)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409757

Description

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

- @webiny/react-rich-text-renderer before 5.37.2 allows XSS attacks by content managers. This is a react
component to render data coming from Webiny Headless CMS and Webiny Form Builder. Webiny is an open-source
serverless enterprise CMS. The @webiny/react-rich-text-renderer package depends on the editor.js rich text
editor to handle rich text content. The CMS stores rich text content from the editor.js into the database.
When the @webiny/react-rich-text-renderer is used to render such content, it uses the
dangerouslySetInnerHTML prop, without applying HTML sanitization. The issue arises when an actor, who in
this context would specifically be a content manager with access to the CMS, inserts a malicious script as
part of the user-defined input. This script is then injected and executed within the user's browser when
the main page or admin page loads. (CVE-2023-41167)
