SCA: security update for github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 (GHSA-5h23-36rv-pm65)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473826

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 2.8.0 to
2.11.0, GetStyle's fill, border, and font extraction predicates check only upper bounds for attacker-
controlled style-table indices. File.GetStyle relies on extractStyleCondFuncs predicates that allow
negative FillID, BorderID, and FontID values to reach slice indexing. When a crafted styles.xml supplies a
negative fillId, borderId, or fontId and the application reads the style, a negative identifier passes the
upper-bound-only predicate and becomes a negative slice index, allowing an attacker to panic while reading
cell styling. No fixed version is available as of this review. (CVE-2026-107225)

Solution

Update the github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.1-0.20260731010303-ae2113b410e5 or later.
