SCA: security update for org.apache.dubbo:dubbo (GHSA-cpx9-4rwv-486v)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414012

Description

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

 - In Apache Dubbo, users may choose to use the Hessian protocol. The Hessian protocol is implemented on top
 of HTTP and passes the body of a POST request directly to a HessianSkeleton: New HessianSkeleton are
 created without any configuration of the serialization factory and therefore without applying the dubbo
 properties for applying allowed or blocked type lists. In addition, the generic service is always exposed
 and therefore attackers do not need to figure out a valid service/method name pair. This is fixed in
 2.7.13, 2.6.10.1 (CVE-2021-36163)
