SCA: security update for commons-net:commons-net (GHSA-cgp8-4m63-fhh5)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413896

Description

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

 - Prior to Apache Commons Net 3.9.0, Net's FTP client trusts the host from PASV response by default. A
 malicious server can redirect the Commons Net code to use a different host, but the user has to connect to
 the malicious server in the first place. This may lead to leakage of information about services running on
 the private network of the client. The default in version 3.9.0 is now false to ignore such hosts, as cURL
 does. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-711. (CVE-2021-37533)
