SCA: security update for com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream (GHSA-64xx-cq4q-mf44)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411194
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In affected versions this
vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host only by
manipulating the processed input stream. A user is only affected if using the version out of the box with
JDK 1.7u21 or below. However, this scenario can be adjusted easily to an external Xalan that works
regardless of the version of the Java runtime. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to
setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. XStream 1.4.18
uses no longer a blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose. (CVE-2021-39139)
