SCA: security update for de.gematik.refv.commons:commons (GHSA-68j8-fp38-p48q)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411305

Description

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

- The reference validator is a tool to perform advanced validation of FHIR resources for TI applications and
interoperability standards. The profile location routine in the referencevalidator commons package is
vulnerable to `XML External Entities` attack due to insecure defaults of the used Woodstox
WstxInputFactory. A malicious XML resource can lead to network requests issued by referencevalidator and
thus to a `Server Side Request Forgery` attack. The vulnerability impacts applications which use
referencevalidator to process XML resources from untrusted sources. The problem has been patched with the
2.5.1 version of the referencevalidator. Users are strongly recommended to update to this version or a
more recent one. A pre-processing or manual analysis of input XML resources on existence of DTD
definitions or external entities can mitigate the problem. (CVE-2024-46984)
