SCA: security update for wagtail (GHSA-v2wc-pfq2-5cm6)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 422587

Description

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

 - In Wagtail before versions 2.8.1 and 2.7.2, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists on the page
 revision comparison view within the Wagtail admin interface. A user with a limited-permission editor
 account for the Wagtail admin could potentially craft a page revision history that, when viewed by a user
 with higher privileges, could perform actions with that user's credentials. The vulnerability is not
 exploitable by an ordinary site visitor without access to the Wagtail admin. Patched versions have been
 released as Wagtail 2.7.2 (for the LTS 2.7 branch) and Wagtail 2.8.1 (for the current 2.8 branch).
