SCA: security update for github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 (GHSA-8jjq-8j9w-m2v6)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473814

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. From 2.10.1 to
 2.11.0, RIGHT validates the requested length with UTF-16 code-unit counts but slices a rune array using
 Unicode code-point counts. RIGHT reaches leftRight through CalcCellValue, where countUTF16String validates
 one unit but utf8.RuneCountInString supplies the slice index in another. When RIGHT evaluates
 supplementary-plane text with a requested character count between the rune count and UTF-16 code-unit
 count, the inconsistent units produce a negative rune-slice index, allowing an attacker to panic during
 formula evaluation. No fixed version is available as of this review. (CVE-2026-107218)

Solution

Update the github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.1-0.20260908032718-ecd99d761fe0 or later.
