SCA: security update for github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 (GHSA-jw42-f3rr-4cc3)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473858

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 2.1.0 to
2.11.0, Rows.Columns accepts a look-ahead row number above TotalRows without applying the limit enforced
by Rows.Next. File.GetRows relies on Rows.Next and Rows.Columns, but Rows.Columns consumes the row r
attribute without the limit check in Rows.Next. When a crafted worksheet places an oversized row number
after an ordinary valid row and the application calls GetRows or iterates Rows, the iterator advances
through every missing row number instead of rejecting the workbook, allowing an attacker to consume a CPU
core for an attacker-controlled duration. No fixed version is available as of this review.
(CVE-2026-107212)

Solution

Update the github.com/xuri/excelize/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.1-0.20260930021559-01a9ff32fb3c or later.
