SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server (GHSA-gprp-h92g-gc2h)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435518

Description

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

- XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it.
Starting in version 4.3-milestone-1 and prior to versions 16.10.9, 17.4.2, and 17.5.0, the REST search URL
is vulnerable to HQL injection via the `orderField` parameter. The specified value is added twice in the
query, though, once in the field list for the select and once in the order clause, so it's not that easy
to exploit. The part of the query between the two fields can be enclosed in single quotes to effectively
remove them, but the query still needs to remain valid with the query two times in it. This has been
patched in versions 17.5.0, 17.4.2, and 16.10.9. No known workarounds are available. (CVE-2025-52472)
