SCA: security update for github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 (GHSA-2j4c-ffch-9f23)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473895

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, the decryption dispatch performs insufficient structural and parameter validation before standard
 and agile decryptors slice, index, allocate, and divide using attacker-controlled values. Decrypt passes
 attacker-controlled EncryptionInfo and EncryptedPackage data into standardDecrypt or agileDecrypt before
 validating the structures used by those routines. When a malformed OLE compound file with a version-valid
 EncryptionInfo stream is opened or passed to Decrypt, nine malformed-input classes reach unrecovered Go
 runtime panics instead of the documented error path, allowing an attacker to terminate the calling
 process. No fixed version is available as of this review. (CVE-2026-107214)

Solution

Update the github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.1-0.20260915055537-22f76f9acb94 or later.
