SCA: security update for org.opencastproject:opencast-common (GHSA-j4mm-7pj3-jf7v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416127

Description

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

 - Opencast is an Open Source Lecture Capture & Video Management for Education. Opencast versions prior to
 9.10 allow HTTP method spoofing, allowing to change the assumed HTTP method via URL parameter. This allows
 attackers to turn HTTP GET requests into PUT requests or an HTTP form to send DELETE requests. This
 bypasses restrictions otherwise put on these types of requests and aids in cross-site request forgery
 (CSRF) attacks, which would otherwise not be possible. The vulnerability allows attackers to craft links
 or forms which may change the server state. This issue is fixed in Opencast 9.10 and 10.0. You can
 mitigate the problem by setting the `SameSite=Strict` attribute for your cookies. If this is a viable
 option for you depends on your integrations. We strongly recommend updating in any case. (CVE-2021-43807)
