SCA: security update for org.apache.tapestry:tapestry-core (GHSA-227g-7cvv-6ff3)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408596

Description

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

 - Apache Tapestry up to version 5.8.1 is vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in the
 way it handles Content Types. Specially crafted Content Types may cause catastrophic backtracking, taking
 exponential time to complete. Specifically, this is about the regular expression used on the parameter of
 the org.apache.tapestry5.http.ContentType class. Apache Tapestry 5.8.2 has a fix for this vulnerability.
 Notice the vulnerability cannot be triggered by web requests in Tapestry code alone. It would only happen
 if there's some non-Tapestry codepath passing some outside input to the ContentType class constructor.
 (CVE-2022-31781)
