SCA: security update for org.eclipse.ditto:ditto (GHSA-hjfc-6jxr-j2rx)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415805

Description

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

- In Eclipse Ditto versions 3.0.0 to 3.5.5, the user input of several input fields of the Eclipse Ditto
Explorer User Interface https://eclipse.dev/ditto/user-interface.html was not properly neutralized and
thus vulnerable to both Reflected and Stored XSS (Cross Site Scripting). Several inputs were not persisted
at the backend of Eclipse Ditto, but only in local browser storage to save settings of "environments" of
the UI and e.g. the last performed "search queries", resulting in a "Reflected XSS" vulnerability.
However, several other inputs were persisted at the backend of Eclipse Ditto, leading to a "Stored XSS"
vulnerability. Those mean that authenticated and authorized users at Eclipse Ditto can persist Things in
Ditto which can - when being displayed by other users also being authorized to see those Things in the
Eclipse Ditto UI - cause scripts to be executed in the browser of other users. (CVE-2024-5165)
