SCA: security update for io.quarkus:quarkus-vertx-http (GHSA-rc95-pcm8-65v9)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441059

Description

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

 - Quarkus is a Java framework for building cloud-native applications. In versions prior to 3.20.6.1,
 3.27.3.1, 3.33.1.1, 3.35.1.1, 3.34.7, and 3.35.2, a path normalization inconsistency between the security
 layer and the routing layer allows unauthenticated or lower-privileged users to bypass HTTP path-based
 authorization policies. Quarkus's security layer performs authorization checks on the raw URL path which
 preserves matrix parameters (semicolons), while RESTEasy Reactive's routing layer strips matrix parameters
 before matching endpoints. An attacker can append a semicolon and arbitrary text to a request URL (e.g.,
 /api/admin;anything) to bypass policies protecting /api/admin while still routing to the protected
 endpoint. This issue has been fixed in versions 3.20.6.1, 3.27.3.1, 3.33.1.1, 3.35.1.1, 3.34.7, and
 3.35.2. (CVE-2026-39852)

Solution

Update the io.quarkus:quarkus-vertx-http library and its related packages to version 3.20.6.1 or later.
