SCA: security update for github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 (GHSA-g27h-8qhm-6pff)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473802

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. From 2.7.1 to
 2.11.0, mergeCellsParser leaves the cached rectangle empty for an empty mergeCell ref and then passes that
 empty slice to cellInRange without a length check. GetCellValue reaches mergeCellsParser, which passes an
 empty rectangle derived from the mergeCell ref attribute into cellInRange. When a crafted worksheet
 contains an empty mergeCell ref and a non-streaming cell API reads the worksheet, cellInRange indexes four
 positions in an empty slice, allowing an attacker to panic on the first affected cell operation. No fixed
 version is available as of this review. (CVE-2026-107220)

Solution

Update the github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.1-0.20260820023833-99903a3240e5 or later.
