SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore (GHSA-gh64-qxh5-4m33)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415134

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.
Starting in version 9.4-rc-1 and prior to versions 14.10.8 and 15.3-rc-1, when a document has been deleted
and re-created, it is possible for users with view right on the re-created document but not on the deleted
document to view the contents of the deleted document. Such a situation might arise when rights were added
to the deleted document. This can be exploited through the diff feature and, partially, through the REST
API by using versions such as `deleted:1` (where the number counts the deletions in the wiki and is thus
guessable). Given sufficient rights, the attacker can also re-create the deleted document, thus extending
the scope to any deleted document as long as the attacker has edit right in the location of the deleted
document. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.8 and 15.3 RC1 by properly checking rights
when deleted revisions of a document are accessed. The only workaround is to regularly clean deleted
documents to minimize the potential exposure. Extra care should be taken when deleting sensitive documents
that are protected individually (and not, e.g., by being placed in a protected space) or deleting a
protected space as a whole. (CVE-2023-37911)
