SCA: security update for org.jsoup:jsoup (GHSA-pmhh-3w7g-xqp8)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445753

Description

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

 - jsoup is a Java library for working with real-world HTML. From 1.14.3 until 1.23.1, jsoup's HTML parser
 could incorrectly handle a malformed tag name ending in a control character, causing the tag to acquire
 the parsing behavior of a different element. When a custom Safelist permits certain raw-text elements,
 this misparsing can cause content that should remain inert text to be emitted as active markup after
 serialization, potentially resulting in cross-site scripting. jsoup's built-in Safelists are not affected.
 This issue is fixed in version 1.23.1. (CVE-2026-71497)

Solution

Update the org.jsoup:jsoup library and its related packages to version 1.23.1 or later.
