SCA: security update for ckan (GHSA-2r4h-8jxv-w2j8)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435850

Description

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

 - CKAN is an open-source DMS (data management system) for powering data hubs and data portals. Prior to
 2.10.9 and 2.11.4, the helpers.markdown_extract() function did not perform sufficient sanitization of
 input data before wrapping in an HTML literal element. This helper is used to render user-provided data on
 dataset, resource, organization or group pages (plus any page provided by an extension that used that
 helper function), leading to a potential XSS vector. This vulnerability has been fixed in CKAN 2.10.9 and
 2.11.4. (CVE-2025-54384)
