SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-ratings-api (GHSA-79rg-7mv3-jrr5)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411976

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.
In affected versions of XWiki Platform (and only those with the Ratings API installed), the Rating Script
Service expose an API to perform SQL requests without escaping the from and where search arguments. This
might lead to an SQL script injection quite easily for any user having Script rights on XWiki. The problem
has been patched in XWiki 12.9RC1. The only workaround besides upgrading XWiki would be to uninstall the
Ratings API in XWiki from the Extension Manager. (CVE-2021-21380)
