Description

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

- XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it.
XWiki doesn't properly escape the section URL parameter that is used in the code for displaying
administration sections. This allows any user with read access to the document `XWiki.AdminSheet` (by
default, everyone including unauthenticated users) to execute code including Groovy code. This impacts the
confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki instance. This vulnerability has been
patched in XWiki 14.10.14, 15.6 RC1 and 15.5.1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unablr to upgrade may
apply the fix in commit `fec8e0e53f9` manually. Alternatively, to protect against attacks from
unauthenticated users, view right for guests can be removed from this document (it is only needed for
space and wiki admins). (CVE-2023-46731)
