SCA: security update for org.wiremock:wiremock-webhooks-extension (GHSA-hq8w-9w8w-pmx7)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415897

Description

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

- WireMock is a tool for mocking HTTP services. WireMock can be configured to only permit proxying (and
therefore recording) to certain addresses. This is achieved via a list of allowed address rules and a list
of denied address rules, where the allowed list is evaluated first. Until WireMock Webhooks Extension
3.0.0-beta-15, the filtering of target addresses from the proxy mode DID NOT work for Webhooks, so the
users were potentially vulnerable regardless of the `limitProxyTargets` settings. Via the WireMock
webhooks configuration, POST requests from a webhook might be forwarded to an arbitrary service reachable
from WireMock’s instance. For example, If someone is running the WireMock docker Container inside a
private cluster, they can trigger internal POST requests against unsecured APIs or even against secure
ones by passing a token, discovered using another exploit, via authentication headers. This issue has been
addressed in versions 2.35.1 and 3.0.3 of wiremock. Wiremock studio has been discontinued and will not see
a fix. Users unable to upgrade should use external firewall rules to define the list of permitted
destinations. (CVE-2023-41327)
