SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-notifications-ui (GHSA-pg4m-3gp6-hw4w)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417500

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.
 It's possible to get access to notification filters of any user by using a URL such as `<hostname>xwiki/bi
 n/get/XWiki/Notifications/Code/NotificationFilterPreferenceLivetableResults?outputSyntax=plain&type=custom
 &user=<username>`. This vulnerability impacts all versions of XWiki since 13.2-rc-1. The filters do not
 provide much information (they mainly contain references which are public data in XWiki), though some info
 could be used in combination with other vulnerabilities. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki
 14.10.21, 15.5.5, 15.10.1, 16.0RC1. The patch consists in checking the rights of the user when sending the
 data. Users are advised to upgrade. It's possible to workaround the vulnerability by applying manually the
 patch: it's possible for an administrator to edit directly the document
 `XWiki.Notifications.Code.NotificationFilterPreferenceLivetableResults` to apply the same changes as in
 the patch. See commit c8c6545f9bde6f5aade994aa5b5903a67b5c2582. (CVE-2024-46979)
