How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 texlive-xetex-bin to version 2021.20210325.svn58378-150400.31.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream texlive-xetex-bin package and not the texlive-xetex-bin package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

LuaTeX before 1.17.0 allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when compiling a TeX file obtained from an untrusted source. This occurs because luatex-core.lua lets the original io.popen be accessed. This also affects TeX Live before 2023 r66984 and MiKTeX before 23.5.
