SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web, org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (GHSA-h5j3-5x63-p8jv)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415492

Description

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

 - XWiki Platform Web Templates are templates for XWiki Platform, a generic wiki platform. By passing a
 template of the distribution wizard to the xpart template, user accounts can be created even when user
 registration is disabled. This also circumvents any email verification. Before versions 14.2 and 13.10.4,
 this can also be exploited on a private wiki, thus potentially giving the attacker access to the wiki.
 Depending on the configured default rights of users, this could also give attackers write access to an
 otherwise read-only public wiki. Users can also be created when an external authentication system like
 LDAP is configured, but authentication fails unless the authentication system supports a bypass/local
 accounts are enabled in addition to the external authentication system. This issue has been patched in
 XWiki 13.10.5 and 14.3RC1. As a workaround, one may replace `xpart.vm`, the entry point for this attack,
 by a patched version from the patch without updating XWiki. (CVE-2022-36093)
