SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-notifications-notifiers-default (GHSA-ff6v-w58f-v97w)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437011

Description

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

 - XWiki is a generic wiki platform. When a user without script right creates a document with an
 `XWiki.Notifications.Code.NotificationEmailRendererClass` object, and later an admin edits and saves that
 document, the email templates in this object will be used for notifications. No malicious code can be
 executed, though, as while these templates allow Velocity code, the existing generic analyzer already
 warns admins before editing Velocity code. The main impact would thus be to send spam, e.g., with phishing
 links to other users or to hide notifications about other attacks. Note that warnings before editing
 documents with dangerous properties have only been introduced in XWiki 15.9, before that version, this was
 a known issue and the advice was simply to be careful. This has been patched in XWiki 16.10.2, 16.4.7 and
 15.10.16 by adding an analysis for the respective XClass properties. (CVE-2025-49583)
