SCA: security update for org.hsqldb:hsqldb (GHSA-77xx-rxvh-q682)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411923

Description

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

 - Those using java.sql.Statement or java.sql.PreparedStatement in hsqldb (HyperSQL DataBase) to process
 untrusted input may be vulnerable to a remote code execution attack. By default it is allowed to call any
 static method of any Java class in the classpath resulting in code execution. The issue can be prevented
 by updating to 2.7.1 or by setting the system property "hsqldb.method_class_names" to classes which are
 allowed to be called. For example, System.setProperty("hsqldb.method_class_names", "abc") or Java argument
 -Dhsqldb.method_class_names="abc" can be used. From version 2.7.1 all classes by default are not
 accessible except those in java.lang.Math and need to be manually enabled. (CVE-2022-41853)
