SCA: security update for Zope (GHSA-wm8q-9975-xh5v)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419994

Description

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

 - Zope is an open-source web application server. Prior to versions 4.8.10 and 5.8.5, there is a stored cross
 site scripting vulnerability for SVG images. Note that an image tag with an SVG image as source is never
 vulnerable, even when the SVG image contains malicious code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker
 would first need to upload an image, and then trick a user into following a specially crafted link.
 Patches are available in Zope 4.8.10 and 5.8.5. As a workaround, make sure the "Add Documents, Images, and
 Files" permission is only assigned to trusted roles. By default, only the Manager has this permission.
 (CVE-2023-42458)
