SCA: security update for org.xwiki.contrib:application-ckeditor-ui, org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-ckeditor-ui (GHSA-793w-g325-hrw2)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411953

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.
Any user with edit rights can edit all pages in the `CKEditor' space. This makes it possible to perform a
variety of harmful actions, such as removing technical documents, leading to loss of service and editing
the javascript configuration of CKEditor, leading to persistent XSS. This issue has been patched in XWiki
14.10.6 and XWiki 15.1. This issue has been patched on the CKEditor Integration extension 1.64.9 for XWiki
version older than 14.6RC1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may manually address the
issue by restricting the `edit` and `delete` rights to a trusted user or group (e.g. the
`XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup` group), implicitly disabling those rights for all other users. See commit
`9d9d86179` for details. (CVE-2023-36477)
