SCA: security update for ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.core, ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.utilities (GHSA-fgv2-4q4g-wc35)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439474

Description

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

 - HAPI FHIR is a complete implementation of the HL7 FHIR standard for healthcare interoperability in Java.
 Prior to version 6.9.4, ManagedWebAccessUtils.getServer() uses String.startsWith() to match request URLs
 against configured server URLs for authentication credential dispatch. Because configured server URLs
 (e.g., http://tx.fhir.org) lack a trailing slash or host boundary check, an attacker-controlled domain
 like http://tx.fhir.org.attacker.com matches the prefix and receives Bearer tokens, Basic auth
 credentials, or API keys when the HTTP client follows a redirect to that domain. This issue has been
 patched in version 6.9.4. (CVE-2026-34359)

Solution

Update the ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.core library and its related packages to version 6.9.4 or later.
