SCA: security update for com.zaxxer:nuprocess (GHSA-cxgf-v2p8-7ph7)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414174

Description

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

 - NuProcess is an external process execution implementation for Java. In all the versions of NuProcess where
 it forks processes by using the JVM's Java_java_lang_UNIXProcess_forkAndExec method (1.2.0+), attackers
 can use NUL characters in their strings to perform command line injection. Java's ProcessBuilder isn't
 vulnerable because of a check in ProcessBuilder.start. NuProcess is missing that check. This vulnerability
 can only be exploited to inject command line arguments on Linux. Version 2.0.5 contains a patch. As a
 workaround, users of the library can sanitize command strings to remove NUL characters prior to passing
 them to NuProcess for execution. (CVE-2022-39243)
