medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419113
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- PHPSpreadsheet is a pure PHP library for reading and writing spreadsheet files. One of the sample scripts
in PhpSpreadsheet is susceptible to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to improper handling of
input where a number is expected leading to formula injection. The code in in
`45_Quadratic_equation_solver.php` concatenates the user supplied parameters directly into spreadsheet
formulas. This allows an attacker to take control over the formula and output unsanitized data into the
page, resulting in JavaScript execution. This issue has been addressed in release versions 1.29.2, 2.1.1,
and 2.3.0. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
