SCA: security update for ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.convertors, ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.dstu2, ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.validation, ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.validation.cli (GHSA-fxj4-p9xp-37v5)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443363

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 6.9.10, the fix for CVE-2026-45367 incompletely patched the DSTU2 module, leaving
 FHIRPathEngine.matches() in org.hl7.fhir.dstu2/utils/FHIRPathEngine.java to call raw String.matches(sw)
 without RegexTimeout protection while replaceMatches() was updated, allowing an unauthenticated attacker
 to trigger catastrophic regex backtracking and exhaust server CPU. This issue is fixed in version 6.9.10.
 (CVE-2026-55470)

Solution

Update the ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.convertors library and its related packages to version 6.9.10 or later.
