SCA: security update for org.apache.spark:spark-parent_2.12, pyspark (GHSA-59hw-j9g6-mfg3)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410733

Description

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

 - ** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** The Apache Spark UI offers the possibility to enable ACLs via the
 configuration option spark.acls.enable. With an authentication filter, this checks whether a user has
 access permissions to view or modify the application. If ACLs are enabled, a code path in
 HttpSecurityFilter can allow someone to perform impersonation by providing an arbitrary user name. A
 malicious user might then be able to reach a permission check function that will ultimately build a Unix
 shell command based on their input, and execute it. This will result in arbitrary shell command execution
 as the user Spark is currently running as. This issue was disclosed earlier as CVE-2022-33891, but
 incorrectly claimed version 3.1.3 (which has since gone EOL) would not be affected. NOTE: This
 vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer. Users are recommended
 to upgrade to a supported version of Apache Spark, such as version 3.4.0. (CVE-2023-32007)
