SCA: security update for github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 (GHSA-h69g-9hx6-f3v4)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444786

Description

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

 - Excelize is a Go language library for reading and writing Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Prior to 2.11.0,
 the checkSheet() function in github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 uses an attacker-controlled <row r="N"> XML
 attribute value directly as the length argument to make([]xlsxRow, row) without validating it against the
 Excel row limit (TotalRows = 1,048,576). A specially crafted XLSX file can trigger two denial-of-service
 variants: (A) an out-of-memory process kill when r=2147483647 forces a ~16 GB allocation attempt, and (B)
 a runtime panic via out-of-bounds slice indexing when r=-1. Any service that opens attacker-supplied XLSX
 files and calls GetCellValue is affected. No authentication is required. This issue is fixed in version
 2.11.0. (CVE-2026-54063)

Solution

Update the github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.0 or later.
