SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore (GHSA-g9jj-75mx-wjcx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 434660

Description

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

- XWiki is a generic wiki platform. In versions starting from 1.6-milestone-1 to before 15.10.16, 16.4.6,
and 16.10.1, it is possible for a user with SCRIPT right to escape from the HQL execution context and
perform a blind SQL injection to execute arbitrary SQL statements on the database backend. Depending on
the used database backend, the attacker may be able to not only obtain confidential information such as
password hashes from the database, but also execute UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE queries. This issue has been
patched in versions 16.10.1, 16.4.6 and 15.10.16. There is no known workaround, other than upgrading
XWiki. The protection added to this REST API is the same as the one used to validate complete select
queries, making it more consistent. However, while the script API always had this protection for complete
queries, it's important to note that it's a very strict protection and some valid, but complex, queries
might suddenly require the author to have programming right. (CVE-2025-32968)
