SCA: security update for org.codehaus.izpack:izpack-installer (GHSA-f63g-88cj-hjf9)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477663

Description

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

 - IzPack is a widely used tool for packaging applications on the Java platform as cross-platform installers.
 In 5.2.6 and earlier, UnpackerBase.unpack() in izpack-
 installer/src/main/java/com/izforge/izpack/installer/unpacker/UnpackerBase.java obtains an attacker-
 controlled PackFile targetPath, passes it through IoHelper.translatePath(), which only converts
 separators, and constructs a File without normalizing parent-directory segments or enforcing destination
 containment. A malicious installer pack entry containing ../ sequences can therefore write outside the
 intended installation directory to startup folders, executable search paths, or other locations accessible
 with the victim's privileges when the victim runs the installer. (CVE-2026-54550)

Solution

Update the org.codehaus.izpack:izpack-installer library and its related packages to version 5.2.7 or later.
