SCA: security update for org.springframework.hateoas:spring-hateoas (GHSA-7m5c-fgwf-mwph)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412127

Description

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

 - Reactive web applications that use Spring HATEOAS to produce hypermedia-based responses might be exposed
 to malicious forwarded headers if they are not behind a trusted proxy that ensures correctness of such
 headers, or if they don't have anything else in place to handle (and possibly discard) forwarded headers
 either in WebFlux or at the level of the underlying HTTP server. For the application to be affected, it
 needs to satisfy the following requirements: * It needs to use the reactive web stack (Spring WebFlux) and
 Spring HATEOAS to create links in hypermedia-based responses. * The application infrastructure does not
 guard against clients submitting (X-)Forwarded… headers. (CVE-2023-34036)
