SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore (GHSA-g4h6-qp44-wqvx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414858

Description

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

 - XWiki Platform Old Core is a core package for XWiki Platform, a generic wiki platform. Starting in
 versions 11.3.7, 11.0.3, and 12.0RC1, it is possible to exploit a bug in XWikiRights resolution of groups
 to obtain privilege escalation. More specifically, editing a right with the object editor leads to adding
 a supplementary empty value to groups which is then resolved as a reference to XWiki.WebHome page. Adding
 an XWikiGroup xobject to that page then transforms it to a group, any user put in that group would then
 obtain the privileges related to the edited right. Note that this security issue is normally mitigated by
 the fact that XWiki.WebHome (and XWiki space in general) should be protected by default for edit rights.
 The problem has been patched in XWiki 13.10.4 and 14.2RC1 to not consider anymore empty values in
 XWikiRights. It's possible to work around the problem by setting appropriate rights on XWiki.WebHome page
 to prevent users to edit it. (CVE-2022-31166)
