Description

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

 - ACE vulnerability in conditional configuration file processing by QOS.CH logback-core up to and including
 version 1.5.18 in Java applications, allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code by compromising an
 existing logback configuration file or by injecting an environment variable before program execution. A
 successful attack requires the presence of Janino library and Spring Framework to be present on the user's

 attacker could inject a malicious environment variable pointing to a malicious configuration file. In both
 cases, the attack requires existing privilege. (CVE-2025-11226)
