SCA: security update for org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity (GHSA-cvx5-m8vg-vxgc)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414122

Description

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

 - APIs to evaluate content with Velocity is a package for APIs to evaluate content with Velocity. Starting
 with version 2.3 and prior to 12.6.7, 12.10.3, and 13.0, the velocity scripts are not properly sandboxed
 against using the Java File API to perform read or write operations on the filesystem. Writing an
 attacking script in Velocity requires the Script rights in XWiki so not all users can use it, and it also
 requires finding an XWiki API which returns a File. The problem has been patched in versions 12.6.7,
 12.10.3, and 13.0. There is no easy workaround for fixing this vulnerability other than upgrading and
 being careful when giving Script rights. (CVE-2022-24897)
