SCA: security update for org.apache.cxf:cxf-core (GHSA-vw2c-5wph-v92r)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419564

Description

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

 - The HTTP transport module in Apache CXF prior to 3.0.12 and 3.1.x prior to 3.1.9 uses
 FormattedServiceListWriter to provide an HTML page which lists the names and absolute URL addresses of the
 available service endpoints. The module calculates the base URL using the current HttpServletRequest. The
 calculated base URL is used by FormattedServiceListWriter to build the service endpoint absolute URLs. If
 the unexpected matrix parameters have been injected into the request URL then these matrix parameters will
 find their way back to the client in the services list page which represents an XSS risk to the client.
 (CVE-2016-6812)
