medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416804

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. A
 vulnerability exists in versions prior to 12.6.88, 12.10.4, and 13.0. The script service method used to
 reset the authentication failures record can be executed by any user with Script rights and does not
 require Programming rights. An attacher with script rights who is able to reset the authentication failure
 record might perform a brute force attack, since they would be able to virtually deactivate the mechanism
 introduced to mitigate those attacks. The problem has been patched in version 12.6.8, 12.10.4 and 13.0.
 There are no workarounds aside from upgrading. (CVE-2021-32729)
