SCA: security update for org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (GHSA-jx6h-3fjx-cgv5)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 422478

Description

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

 - Security constraints defined by annotations of Servlets in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.4, 8.5.0 to
 8.5.27, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.84 were only applied once a Servlet had been loaded. Because
 security constraints defined in this way apply to the URL pattern and any URLs below that point, it was
 possible - depending on the order Servlets were loaded - for some security constraints not to be applied.
 This could have exposed resources to users who were not authorised to access them. (CVE-2018-1305)
