SCA: security update for com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream (GHSA-hfq9-hggm-c56q)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415692

Description

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

 - XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. This vulnerability may allow a
 remote attacker to terminate the application with a stack overflow error resulting in a denial of service
 only by manipulating the processed input stream when XStream is configured to use the BinaryStreamDriver.
 XStream 1.4.21 has been patched to detect the manipulation in the binary input stream causing the the
 stack overflow and raises an InputManipulationException instead. Users are advised to upgrade. Users
 unable to upgrade may catch the StackOverflowError in the client code calling XStream if XStream is
 configured to use the BinaryStreamDriver. (CVE-2024-47072)
