high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416353

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.
Affected versions of xwiki are subject to code injection in the `since` parameter of the
`/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/Notifications/Code/LegacyNotificationAdministration` endpoint. This provides an
XWiki syntax injection attack via the since-parameter, allowing privilege escalation from view to
programming rights and subsequent code execution privilege. The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki
15.0-rc-1, 14.10.3, 14.4.8 and 14.10.3. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may modify
the page `XWiki.Notifications.Code.LegacyNotificationAdministration` to add the missing escaping. For
versions < 14.6-rc-1 a workaround is to modify the file
`<xwikiwebapp>/templates/distribution/eventmigration.wiki` to add the missing escaping. (CVE-2023-29525)
