SCA: security update for org.xwiki.contrib.blog:application-blog-ui (GHSA-h2xq-h7f9-vh6c)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438299

Description

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

- The XWiki blog application allows users of the XWiki platform to create and manage blog posts. Versions
prior to 9.15.7 are vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via the Blog Post Title. The
vulnerability arises because the post title is injected directly into the HTML <title> tag without proper
escaping. An attacker with permissions to create or edit blog posts can inject malicious JavaScript into
the title field. This script will execute in the browser of any user (including administrators) who views
the blog post. This leads to potential session hijacking or privilege escalation. The vulnerability has
been patched in the blog application version 9.15.7 by adding missing escaping. No known workarounds are
available. (CVE-2025-66024)
