SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-async-macro (GHSA-9cqm-5wf7-wcj7)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413213

Description

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

- XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 11.6-rc-1, comments are supposed to be
executed with the right of superadmin but in restricted mode (anything dangerous is disabled), but the
async macro does not take into account the restricted mode. This means that any user with comment right
can use the async macro to make it execute any wiki content with the right of superadmin. This has been
patched in XWiki 14.9, 14.4.6, and 13.10.10. The only known workaround consists of applying a patch and
rebuilding and redeploying `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-async-macro`. (CVE-2023-26471)
