medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419231

Description

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

- WebAuthn4J Spring Security provides Web Authentication specification support for Spring applications.
Affected versions are subject to improper signature counter value handling. A flaw was found in
webauthn4j-spring-security-core. When an authneticator returns an incremented signature counter value
during authentication, webauthn4j-spring-security-core does not properly persist the value, which means
cloned authenticator detection does not work. An attacker who cloned valid authenticator in some way can
use the cloned authenticator without being detected. This issue has been addressed in version
`0.9.1.RELEASE`. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
(CVE-2023-45669)
