SCA: security update for github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 (GHSA-x2q3-8cjh-766f)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473894

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 2.3.1 to
 2.11.0, extractPart allocates a byte slice directly from an attacker-controlled CFB directory-entry size
 before validating the sector chain or size domain. extractPart trusts the CFB directory entry streamSize
 for EncryptionInfo and EncryptedPackage allocations before validating the stream. When a crafted OLE
 compound file declares a negative or extremely large EncryptionInfo or EncryptedPackage stream size, the
 declared size reaches make with a negative length or forces a multi-gigabyte allocation, allowing an
 attacker to panic or exhaust process memory. No fixed version is available as of this review.
 (CVE-2026-107215)

Solution

Update the github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.1-0.20260912113515-5f636f9dcde5 or later.
