SCA: security update for com.mchange:mchange-commons-java (GHSA-h84g-69h7-mw6v)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445982

Description

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

 - mchange-commons-java is a Java library of shared utility classes used by mchange projects like the c3p0
 connection pool. Prior to version 0.6.0, its JNDI ObjectFactory implementation
 (com.mchange.v2.naming.JavaBeanObjectFactory) will construct objects of arbitrary classes and initialize
 "JavaBean"-style properties, which for certain classes enables JNDI injection and "deserialization
 gadgets." Such initialization is unsafe for some classes: for example, setting the contentType property of
 a Swing JEditorPane to text/html and its text property to HTML containing a stylesheet <link> will provoke
 an HTTP GET on an arbitrary URL, potentially from within a trusted security domain. The problem is
 aggravated by the library's ReferenceIndirector, through which malicious JNDI Reference objects can be
 smuggled in for dereferencing wherever an application reads a Java-serialized object. This has been
 resolved in version 0.6.0. (CVE-2026-55153)

Solution

Update the com.mchange:mchange-commons-java library and its related packages to version 0.6.0 or later.
