SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-skin-ui (GHSA-h4vp-69r8-gvjg)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415473

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.
 Improper escaping in the document `SkinsCode.XWikiSkinsSheet` leads to an injection vector from view right
 on that document to programming rights, or in other words, it is possible to execute arbitrary script
 macros including Groovy and Python macros that allow remote code execution including unrestricted read and
 write access to all wiki contents. The attack works by opening a non-existing page with a name crafted to
 contain a dangerous payload. It is possible to check if an existing installation is vulnerable. See the
 linked GHSA for instructions on testing an installation. This issue has been patched in XWiki 14.4.8,
 14.10.4 and 15.0-rc-1. Users are advised to upgrade. The fix commit `d9c88ddc` can also be applied
 manually to the impacted document `SkinsCode.XWikiSkinsSheet` and users unable to upgrade are advised to
 manually patch their installations. (CVE-2023-37462)
