SCA: security update for yeswiki/yeswiki (GHSA-w59h-3x3q-3p6j)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419716

Description

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

 - YesWiki is a wiki system written in PHP. In versions up to and including 4.4.5, it is possible for an
 authenticated user with rights to edit/create a page or comment to trigger a stored XSS which will be
 reflected on any page where the resource is loaded. The vulnerability makes use of the content edition
 feature and more specifically of the `{{attach}}` component allowing users to attach files/medias to a
 page. When a file is attached using the `{{attach}}` component, if the resource contained in the `file`
 attribute doesn't exist, then the server will generate a file upload button containing the filename. This
 vulnerability allows any malicious authenticated user that has the right to create a comment or edit a
 page to be able to steal accounts and therefore modify pages, comments, permissions, extract user data
 (emails), thus impacting the integrity, availability and confidentiality of a YesWiki instance. Version
 4.5.0 contains a patch for the issue. (CVE-2025-24018)
