SCA: security update for org.apache.zookeeper:zookeeper (GHSA-g93m-8x6h-g5gv)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437027

Description

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

 - When using IPAuthenticationProvider in ZooKeeper Admin Server there is a possibility of Authentication
 Bypass by Spoofing -- this only impacts IP based authentication implemented in ZooKeeper Admin Server.
 Default configuration of client's IP address detection in IPAuthenticationProvider, which uses HTTP
 request headers, is weak and allows an attacker to bypass authentication via spoofing client's IP address
 in request headers. Default configuration honors X-Forwarded-For HTTP header to read client's IP address.
 X-Forwarded-For request header is mainly used by proxy servers to identify the client and can be easily
 spoofed by an attacker pretending that the request comes from a different IP address. Admin Server
 commands, such as snapshot and restore arbitrarily can be executed on successful exploitation which could
 potentially lead to information leakage or service availability issues. Users are recommended to upgrade
 to version 3.9.3, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2024-51504)
