SCA: security update for org.apache.juddi:juddi-core (GHSA-9hx8-2mrv-r674)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413314

Description

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

 - Apache jUDDI uses several classes related to Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) which (as an extension
 to UDDI) provides an alternate transport for accessing UDDI services. RMI uses the default Java
 serialization mechanism to pass parameters in RMI invocations. A remote attacker can send a malicious
 serialized object to the above RMI entries. The objects get deserialized without any check on the incoming
 data. In the worst case, it may let the attacker run arbitrary code remotely. For both jUDDI web service
 applications and jUDDI clients, the usage of RMI is disabled by default. Since this is an optional feature
 and an extension to the UDDI protocol, the likelihood of impact is low. Starting with 3.3.10, all RMI
 related code was removed. (CVE-2021-37578)
