SCA: security update for github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 (GHSA-8mcq-6wmr-jrjv)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473819

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 2.0.0 to
2.11.0, checkRow sizes its target cell slice from the last cell in XML document order and then re-scatters
every cell by its explicit column reference. GetCellValue reaches workSheetReader and checkRow, where
targetList is too short for an earlier out-of-order cell. When a crafted row places a higher-column cell
before a lower-column final cell and a non-streaming worksheet API reads the sheet, the earlier cell's
column index exceeds the slice length derived from the final cell, allowing an attacker to cause an
unrecovered panic and terminate the process. No fixed version is available as of this review.
(CVE-2026-107221)

Solution

Update the github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.1-0.20260816084418-46a5eb289448 or later.
