high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416145

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.
 When an admin disables a user account, the user's profile is executed with the admin's rights. This allows
 a user to place malicious code in the user profile before getting an admin to disable the user account. To
 reproduce, as a user without script nor programming rights, edit the about section of your user profile
 and add `{{groovy}}services.logging.getLogger("attacker").error("Hello from Groovy!"){{/groovy}}`. As an
 admin, go to the user profile and click the "Disable this account" button. Then, reload the page. If the
 logs show `attacker - Hello from Groovy!` then the instance is vulnerable. This has been patched in XWiki
 14.10.21, 15.5.5, 15.10.6 and 16.0.0. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for
 this vulnerability. ### Workarounds We're not aware of any workaround except upgrading. ### References *
