SCA: security update for org.geoserver:gs-restconfig (GHSA-fh7p-5f6g-vj2w)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414524

Description

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

 - GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial
 data. A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in versions prior to 2.23.3 and 2.24.0 that
 enables an authenticated administrator with workspace-level privileges to store a JavaScript payload in
 uploaded style/legend resources that will execute in the context of another administrator's browser when
 viewed in the REST Resources API. Access to the REST Resources API is limited to full administrators by
 default and granting non-administrators access to this endpoint should be carefully considered as it may
 allow access to files containing sensitive information. Versions 2.23.3 and 2.24.0 contain a patch for
 this issue. (CVE-2023-51445)
