SCA: security update for org.cyclonedx:cyclonedx-core-java (GHSA-6fhj-vr9j-g45r)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436019
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- The CycloneDX core module provides a model representation of the SBOM along with utilities to assist in
creating, validating, and parsing SBOMs. Starting in version 2.1.0 and prior to version 11.0.1, the XML
`Validator` used by cyclonedx-core-java was not configured securely, making the library vulnerable to XML
External Entity (XXE) injection. The fix for GHSA-683x-4444-jxh8 / CVE-2024-38374 was incomplete in that
it only fixed parsing of XML BOMs, but not validation. The vulnerability has been fixed in cyclonedx-core-
java version 11.0.1. As a workaround, applications can reject XML documents before handing them to
cyclonedx-core-java for validation. This may be an option if incoming CycloneDX BOMs are known to be in
JSON format. (CVE-2025-64518)
