SCA: security update for org.postgresql:postgresql (GHSA-727h-hrw8-jg8q)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411732

Description

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

 - In pgjdbc before 42.3.3, an attacker (who controls the jdbc URL or properties) can call
 java.util.logging.FileHandler to write to arbitrary files through the loggerFile and loggerLevel
 connection properties. An example situation is that an attacker could create an executable JSP file under
 a Tomcat web root. NOTE: the vendor's position is that there is no pgjdbc vulnerability; instead, it is a
 vulnerability for any application to use the pgjdbc driver with untrusted connection properties
 (CVE-2022-26520)
