SCA: security update for org.apache.commons:commons-vfs2 (GHSA-9q4x-fr4m-jp86)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421219

Description

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

 - Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Apache Commons VFS before 2.10.0. The FileObject API in Commons
 VFS has a 'resolveFile' method that takes a 'scope' parameter. Specifying 'NameScope.DESCENDENT' promises
 that "an exception is thrown if the resolved file is not a descendent of the base file". However, when the
 path contains encoded ".." characters (for example, "%2E%2E/bar.txt"), it might return file objects that
 are not a descendent of the base file, without throwing an exception. This issue affects Apache Commons
 VFS: before 2.10.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.10.0, which fixes the issue.
 (CVE-2025-27553)
