SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-administration-ui (GHSA-cp3j-273x-3jxc)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413987

Description

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

 - XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in 2.3 and prior to versions 14.10.15, 15.5.2, and
 15.7-rc-1, there is a reflected XSS or also direct remote code execution vulnerability in the code for
 displaying configurable admin sections. The code that can be passed through a URL parameter is only
 executed when the user who is visiting the crafted URL has edit right on at least one configuration
 section. While any user of the wiki could easily create such a section, this vulnerability doesn't require
 the attacker to have an account or any access on the wiki. It is sufficient to trick any admin user of the
 XWiki installation to visit the crafted URL. This vulnerability allows full remote code execution with
 programming rights and thus impacts the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki
 installation. This has been fixed in XWiki 14.10.15, 15.5.2 and 15.7RC1. The patch can be manually applied
 to the document `XWiki.ConfigurableClass`. (CVE-2023-50722)
