SCA: security update for org.apache.bcel:bcel (GHSA-97xg-phpr-rg8q)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413127

Description

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

- Apache Commons BCEL has a number of APIs that would normally only allow changing specific class
characteristics. However, due to an out-of-bounds writing issue, these APIs can be used to produce
arbitrary bytecode. This could be abused in applications that pass attacker-controllable data to those
APIs, giving the attacker more control over the resulting bytecode than otherwise expected. Update to
Apache Commons BCEL 6.6.0. (CVE-2022-42920)
