critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408673

Description

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

 - pgjdbc, the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver, allows attacker to inject SQL if using PreferQueryMode=SIMPLE. Note
 this is not the default. In the default mode there is no vulnerability. A placeholder for a numeric value
 must be immediately preceded by a minus. There must be a second placeholder for a string value after the
 first placeholder; both must be on the same line. By constructing a matching string payload, the attacker
 can inject SQL to alter the query,bypassing the protections that parameterized queries bring against SQL
 Injection attacks. Versions before 42.7.2, 42.6.1, 42.5.5, 42.4.4, 42.3.9, and 42.2.28 are affected.
 (CVE-2024-1597)

Update the org.postgresql:postgresql library and its related packages to version 42.2.28 or later.
