SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-api (GHSA-8xhr-x3v8-rghj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412933

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.
 XWiki supports scheduled jobs that contain Groovy scripts. Currently, the job checks the content author of
 the job for programming right. However, modifying or adding a job script to a document doesn't modify the
 content author. Together with a CSRF vulnerability in the job scheduler, this can be exploited for remote
 code execution by an attacker with edit right on the wiki. If the attack is successful, an error log entry
 with "Job content executed" will be produced. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.9 and
 15.4RC1. (CVE-2023-40573)
