SCA: security update for org.http4s:http4s-core (GHSA-6h7w-fc84-x7p6)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411458

Description

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

- Http4s is a Scala interface for HTTP services. `StaticFile.fromUrl` can leak the presence of a directory
on a server when the `URL` scheme is not `file://`, and the URL points to a fetchable resource under its
scheme and authority. The function returns `F[None]`, indicating no resource, if `url.getFile` is a
directory, without first checking the scheme or authority of the URL. If a URL connection to the scheme
and URL would return a stream, and the path in the URL exists as a directory on the server, the presence
of the directory on the server could be inferred from the 404 response. The contents and other metadata
about the directory are not exposed. This affects http4s versions: 0.21.7 through 0.21.23, 0.22.0-M1
through 0.22.0-M8, 0.23.0-M1, and 1.0.0-M1 through 1.0.0-M22. The
[patch](https://github.com/http4s/http4s/commit/52e1890665410b4385e37b96bc49c5e3c708e4e9) is available in
the following versions: v0.21.24, v0.22.0-M9, v0.23.0-M2, v1.0.0-M23. As a workaround users can avoid
calling `StaticFile.fromUrl` with non-file URLs. (CVE-2021-32643)
