SCA: security update for com.alipay.sofa:rpc-sofa-boot-starter (GHSA-7q8p-9953-pxvr)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412199

Description

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

 - SOFARPC is a Java RPC framework. SOFARPC defaults to using the SOFA Hessian protocol to deserialize
 received data, while the SOFA Hessian protocol uses a blacklist mechanism to restrict deserialization of
 potentially dangerous classes for security protection. But, prior to version 5.12.0, there is a gadget
 chain that can bypass the SOFA Hessian blacklist protection mechanism, and this gadget chain only relies
 on JDK and does not rely on any third-party components. Version 5.12.0 fixed this issue by adding a
 blacklist. SOFARPC also provides a way to add additional blacklists. Users can add a class like
 `-Drpc_serialize_blacklist_override=org.apache.xpath.` to avoid this issue. (CVE-2024-23636)
