SCA: security update for TinyMCE, tinymce, tinymce/tinymce (GHSA-gg8r-xjwq-4w92)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415109

Description

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

 - tinymce is an open source rich text editor. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in
 the alert and confirm dialogs when these dialogs were provided with malicious HTML content. This can occur
 in plugins that use the alert or confirm dialogs, such as in the `image` plugin, which presents these
 dialogs when certain errors occur. The vulnerability allowed arbitrary JavaScript execution when an alert
 presented in the TinyMCE UI for the current user. This vulnerability has been patched in TinyMCE 5.10.7
 and TinyMCE 6.3.1 by ensuring HTML sanitization was still performed after unwrapping invalid elements.
 Users are advised to upgrade to either 5.10.7 or 6.3.1. Users unable to upgrade may ensure the the
 `images_upload_handler` returns a valid value as per the images_upload_handler documentation.
 (CVE-2022-23494)
