SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web, org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (GHSA-93gh-jgjj-r929)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412991

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.
 `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web` starting in version 3.1-milestone-2 and prior to version
 13.4-rc-1, as well as `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates` prior to versions 14.10.12 and
 15.5-rc-1, are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. When trying to create a document that already exists,
 XWiki displays an error message in the form for creating it. Due to missing escaping, this error message
 is vulnerable to raw HTML injection and thus XSS. The injected code is the document reference of the
 existing document so this requires that the attacker first creates a non-empty document whose name
 contains the attack code. This has been patched in `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web` version
 13.4-rc-1 and `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates` versions 14.10.12 and 15.5-rc-1 by adding
 the appropriate escaping. The vulnerable template file `createinline.vm` is part of XWiki's WAR and can be
 patched by manually applying the changes from the fix. (CVE-2023-45137)
