SCA: security update for com.xpn.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rest-server, com.xpn.xwiki.platform:xwiki-rest, org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server (GHSA-6xxr-648m-gch6)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411724

Description

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

 - XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it.
 The REST API allows executing all actions via POST requests and accepts `text/plain`, `multipart/form-
 data` or `application/www-form-urlencoded` as content types which can be sent via regular HTML forms, thus
 allowing cross-site request forgery. With the interaction of a user with programming rights, this allows
 remote code execution through script macros and thus impacts the integrity, availability and
 confidentiality of the whole XWiki installation. For regular cookie-based authentication, the
 vulnerability is mitigated by SameSite cookie restrictions but as of March 2023, these are not enabled by
 default in Firefox and Safari. The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.8 and 15.2 by requiring a
 CSRF token header for certain request types that are susceptible to CSRF attacks. (CVE-2023-37277)
