SCA: security update for org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-xml (GHSA-pv7v-ph6g-3gxv)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417714

Description

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

 - `org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-xml` is an XML library used by the open-source wiki platform XWiki. The
 HTML sanitizer, introduced in version 14.6-rc-1, allows the injection of arbitrary HTML code and thus
 cross-site scripting via invalid data attributes. This vulnerability does not affect restricted cleaning
 in HTMLCleaner as there attributes are cleaned and thus characters like `/` and `>` are removed in all
 attribute names. This problem has been patched in XWiki 14.10.4 and 15.0 RC1 by making sure that data
 attributes only contain allowed characters. There are no known workarounds apart from upgrading to a
 version including the fix. (CVE-2023-31126)
