SCA: security update for org.sakaiproject.profile2:profile2-api, org.sakaiproject.profile2:profile2-impl (GHSA-9284-fjc3-fmmj)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446252

Description

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

 - Sakai is a Collaboration and Learning Environment (CLE). From 23.0 until 23.5 and 25.3, the DELETE
 /api/users/{userId}/profile/image endpoint allows an authenticated user to delete another user's profile
 image because ProfileController.removeProfileImage() passes the attacker-controlled userId to
 ProfileServiceImpl.removeProfileImage() without verifying ownership, and
 profileImageUploadedRepository.deleteById(userId) removes the selected row. The related DELETE
 /api/users/{userId}/profile/pronunciation endpoint also omits session validation and ownership checks
 before ProfileServiceImpl.removePronunciationRecording() deletes the target user's recording. The upload
 path is not affected because it already verifies ownership, and superusers remain intentionally authorized
 to modify other profiles. Successful exploitation can repeatedly remove profile identity artifacts,
 including administrator and instructor images, and disrupt workflows that rely on those artifacts. This
 issue is fixed in versions 23.5, 25.3, and 26.0. (CVE-2026-54050)

Solution

Update the org.sakaiproject.profile2:profile2-api library and its related packages to version 23.5 or later.
