SCA: security update for wagtail (GHSA-xqxm-2rpm-3889)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420630
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Wagtail is a Django based content management system focused on flexibility and user experience. When
notifications for new replies in comment threads are sent, they are sent to all users who have replied or
commented anywhere on the site, rather than only in the relevant threads. This means that a user could
listen in to new comment replies on pages they have not have editing access to, as long as they have left
a comment or reply somewhere on the site. A patched version has been released as Wagtail 2.15.2, which
restores the intended behaviour - to send notifications for new replies to the participants in the active
thread only (editing permissions are not considered). New comments can be disabled by setting
`WAGTAILADMIN_COMMENTS_ENABLED = False` in the Django settings file. (CVE-2022-21683)
