Description

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

- The CycloneDX core module provides a model representation of the SBOM along with utilities to assist in
creating, validating, and parsing SBOMs. Before deserializing CycloneDX Bill of Materials in XML format,
_cyclonedx-core-java_ leverages XPath expressions to determine the schema version of the BOM. The
`DocumentBuilderFactory` used to evaluate XPath expressions was not configured securely, making the
library vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection. This vulnerability has been fixed in cyclonedx-
core-java version 9.0.4. (CVE-2024-38374)
