high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436336

Description

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

- XWiki Rendering is a generic rendering system that converts textual input in a given syntax (wiki syntax,
HTML, etc) into another syntax (XHTML, etc). Versions 16.10.9 and below, 17.0.0-rc-1 through 17.4.2 and
17.5.0-rc-1 through 17.5.0 have insufficient protection against {{/html}} injection, which attackers can
exploit through RCE. Any user who can edit their own profile or any other document can execute arbitrary
script macros, including Groovy and Python macros, which enable remote code execution as well as
unrestricted read and write access to all wiki contents. This issue is fixed in versions 16.10.10, 17.4.3
and 17.6.0-rc-1. (CVE-2025-66474)
