SCA: security update for org.jsoup:jsoup (GHSA-gp7f-rwcx-9369)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415223

Description

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

 - jsoup is a Java HTML parser, built for HTML editing, cleaning, scraping, and cross-site scripting (XSS)
 safety. jsoup may incorrectly sanitize HTML including `javascript:` URL expressions, which could allow XSS
 attacks when a reader subsequently clicks that link. If the non-default `SafeList.preserveRelativeLinks`
 option is enabled, HTML including `javascript:` URLs that have been crafted with control characters will
 not be sanitized. If the site that this HTML is published on does not set a Content Security Policy, an
 XSS attack is then possible. This issue is patched in jsoup 1.15.3. Users should upgrade to this version.
 Additionally, as the unsanitized input may have been persisted, old content should be cleaned again using
 the updated version. To remediate this issue without immediately upgrading: - disable
 `SafeList.preserveRelativeLinks`, which will rewrite input URLs as absolute URLs - ensure an appropriate
 [Content Security Policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP) is defined. (This should
 be used regardless of upgrading, as a defence-in-depth best practice.) (CVE-2022-36033)
