SCA: security update for Plone, plone (GHSA-xvwv-6wvx-px9x)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 422835

Description

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

- By linking to a specific url in Plone 2.5-5.1rc1 with a parameter, an attacker could send you to his own
website. On its own this is not so bad: the attacker could more easily link directly to his own website
instead. But in combination with another attack, you could be sent to the Plone login form and login, then
get redirected to the specific url, and then get a second redirect to the attacker website. (The specific
url can be seen by inspecting the hotfix code, but we don't want to make it too easy for attackers by
spelling it out here.) (CVE-2017-1000484)
