SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-security-authentication-ui (GHSA-f9c6-2f9p-82jj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 434135

Description

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

 - XWiki is a generic wiki platform. In versions starting from 15.3-rc-1 to before 15.10.14, from 16.0.0-rc-1
 to before 16.4.6, and from 16.5.0-rc-1 to before 16.10.0-rc-1, a user who can access pages located in the
 XWiki space (by default, anyone) can access the page XWiki.Authentication.Administration and (unless an
 authenticator is set in xwiki.cfg) switch to another installed authenticator. Note that, by default, there
 is only one authenticator available (Standard XWiki Authenticator). So, if no authenticator extension was
 installed, it's not really possible to do anything for an attacker. Also, in most cases, if an SSO
 authenticator is installed and utilized (like OIDC or LDAP for example), the worst an attacker can do is
 break authentication by switching back to the standard authenticator (that's because it's impossible to
 login to a user which does not have a stored password, and that's usually what SSO authenticator produce).
 This issue has been patched in versions 15.10.14, 16.4.6, and 16.10.0-rc-1. (CVE-2025-46557)
