SCA: security update for io.vertx:vertx-web (GHSA-9q69-g5gc-9fgf)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413413

Description

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

 - Vert.x-Web framework v4.0 milestone 1-4 does not perform a correct CSRF verification. Instead of comparing
 the CSRF token in the request with the CSRF token in the cookie, it compares the CSRF token in the cookie
 against a CSRF token that is stored in the session. An attacker does not even need to provide a CSRF token
 in the request because the framework does not consider it. The cookies are automatically sent by the
 browser and the verification will always succeed, leading to a successful CSRF attack. (CVE-2020-35217)
