SCA: security update for com.ongres.scram:scram-common (GHSA-3wfh-36rx-9537)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435334

Description

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

 - SCRAM (Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism) is part of the family of Simple Authentication
 and Security Layer (SASL, RFC 4422) authentication mechanisms. Prior to version 3.2, a timing attack
 vulnerability exists in the SCRAM Java implementation. The issue arises because Arrays.equals was used to
 compare secret values such as client proofs and server signatures. Since Arrays.equals performs a short-
 circuit comparison, the execution time varies depending on how many leading bytes match. This behavior
 could allow an attacker to perform a timing side-channel attack and potentially infer sensitive
 authentication material. All users relying on SCRAM authentication are impacted. This vulnerability has
 been patched in version 3.1 by replacing Arrays.equals with MessageDigest.isEqual, which ensures constant-
 time comparison. (CVE-2025-59432)
