SCA: security update for getkirby/cms (GHSA-3f89-869f-5w76)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409478

Description

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

 - kirby is a content management system (CMS) that adapts to many different projects and helps you build your
 own ideal interface. Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of vulnerability that allows execution of any
 kind of JavaScript code inside the Panel session of the same or other users. In the Panel, a harmful
 script can for example trigger requests to Kirby's API with the permissions of the victim. If bad actors
 gain access to your group of authenticated Panel users they can escalate their privileges via the Panel
 session of an admin user. Depending on your site, other JavaScript-powered attacks are possible. The
 multiselect field allows selection of tags from an autocompleted list. Unfortunately, the Panel in Kirby
 3.5 used HTML rendering for the raw option value. This allowed **attackers with influence on the options
 source** to store HTML code. The browser of the victim who visited a page with manipulated multiselect
 options in the Panel will then have rendered this malicious HTML code when the victim opened the
 autocomplete dropdown. Users are *not* affected by this vulnerability if you don't use the multiselect
 field or don't use it with options that can be manipulated by attackers. The problem has been patched in
 Kirby 3.5.8.1. (CVE-2022-36037)
