Echo: org.apache.neethi:neethi: security update to 3.2.2

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 455275

Description

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

- Apache Neethi does not impose any restrictions on URIs when manually fetching remote policy references
through the PolicyReference API. When an application explicitly calls the API to retrieve a policy from a
remote URI, an outbound request is made for arbitrary protocols and internal IP adddresses. From 3.2.2,
only http or https URIs are allowed, and link-local/multicast/any-local addresses are forbidden. Users are
recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.2, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2026-42404)

Solution

Update the org.apache.neethi:neethi library and its related packages to version 3.2.2 or later.
