SCA: security update for com.xwiki.licensing:application-licensing-licensor-ui (GHSA-4hfp-m9gv-m753)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410210

Description

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

- The XWiki licensor application, which manages and enforce application licenses for paid extensions,
includes the document `Licenses.Code.LicenseJSON` that provides information for admins regarding active
licenses. This document is public and thus exposes this information publicly. The information includes the
instance's id as well as first and last name and email of the license owner. This is a leak of information
that isn't supposed to be public. The instance id allows associating data on the active installs data with
the concrete XWiki instance. Active installs assures that "there's no way to find who's having a given
UUID" (referring to the instance id). Further, the information who the license owner is and information
about the obtained licenses can be used for targeted phishing attacks. Also, while user information is
normally public, email addresses might only be displayed obfuscated, depending on the configuration. This
has been fixed in Application Licensing 1.24.2. There are no known workarounds besides upgrading.
(CVE-2024-26138)

Solution

Update the com.xwiki.licensing:application-licensing-licensor-ui library and its related packages to version 1.24.2 or later.
