SCA: security update for org.springframework:spring-core (GHSA-4487-x383-qpph)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 422808

Description

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

 - Spring Framework, versions 5.0 prior to 5.0.5 and versions 4.3 prior to 4.3.15 and older unsupported
 versions, provide client-side support for multipart requests. When Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux server
 application (server A) receives input from a remote client, and then uses that input to make a multipart
 request to another server (server B), it can be exposed to an attack, where an extra multipart is inserted
 in the content of the request from server A, causing server B to use the wrong value for a part it
 expects. This could to lead privilege escalation, for example, if the part content represents a username
 or user roles. (CVE-2018-1272)
