Description

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

 - Excelize is a Go language library for reading and writing Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Prior to 2.11.0,
 the streaming worksheet reader used by Rows and GetRows does not enforce the TotalRows limit on the row r
 attribute, allowing a small XLSX file with a row number above 1048576 and no cell coordinate to make
 GetRows append empty rows up to the attacker-controlled index and consume excessive memory and CPU. This
 issue is fixed in version 2.11.0. (CVE-2026-59161)

Update the github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.0 or later.
