SCA: security update for com.squareup.wire:wire-runtime, com.squareup.wire:wire-runtime-jvm (GHSA-7xpr-hc2w-34m9)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445703

Description

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

- Wire provides gRPC and protocol buffers for Android, Kotlin, Swift, and Java. Prior to 6.3.0 and
7.0.0-alpha03, ByteArrayProtoReader32.skipGroup() and ProtoReader.skipGroup() in wire-runtime do not
validate that a LENGTH_DELIMITED field length is non-negative before skip(), allowing a crafted protobuf
varint encoding -128 as a signed Int to make skip(-128) move the internal position negative and make the
next readByte() throw ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException instead of the documented IOException or
ProtocolException, which can crash services using ProtoAdapter.decode(byte[]) on untrusted payloads. This
issue is fixed in versions 6.3.0 and 7.0.0-alpha03. (CVE-2026-45799)

Solution

Update the com.squareup.wire:wire-runtime library and its related packages to version 6.3.0 or later.
