SCA: security update for gg.jte:jte, gg.jte:jte-runtime (GHSA-vh22-6c6h-rm8q)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419338

Description

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

- jte (Java Template Engine) is a secure and lightweight template engine for Java and Kotlin. In affected
versions Jte HTML templates with `script` tags or script attributes that include a Javascript template
string (backticks) are subject to XSS. The `javaScriptBlock` and `javaScriptAttribute` methods in the
`Escape` class do not escape backticks, which are used for Javascript template strings. Dollar signs in
template strings should also be escaped as well to prevent undesired interpolation. HTML templates
rendered by Jte's `OwaspHtmlTemplateOutput` in versions less than or equal to `3.1.15` with `script` tags
or script attributes that contain Javascript template strings (backticks) are vulnerable. Users are
advised to upgrade to version 3.1.16 or later to resolve this issue. There are no known workarounds for
this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-23026)
