SCA: security update for org.open-metadata:openmetadata-service (GHSA-7vf4-x5m2-r6gr)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412277

Description

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

 - OpenMetadata is a unified platform for discovery, observability, and governance powered by a central
 metadata repository, in-depth lineage, and seamless team collaboration. `CompiledRule::validateExpression`
 is also called from `PolicyRepository.prepare`. `prepare()` is called from
 `EntityRepository.prepareInternal()` which, in turn, gets called from `EntityResource.createOrUpdate()`.
 Note that even though there is an authorization check (`authorizer.authorize()`), it gets called after
 `prepareInternal()` gets called and therefore after the SpEL expression has been evaluated. In order to
 reach this method, an attacker can send a PUT request to `/api/v1/policies` which gets handled by
 `PolicyResource.createOrUpdate()`. This vulnerability was discovered with the help of CodeQL's Expression
 language injection (Spring) query and is also tracked as `GHSL-2023-252`. This issue may lead to Remote
 Code Execution and has been addressed in version 1.3.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known
 workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-28253)
