SCA: security update for com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream (GHSA-j563-grx4-pjpv)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416143
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- XStream serializes Java objects to XML and back again. Versions prior to 1.4.20 may allow a remote
attacker to terminate the application with a stack overflow error, resulting in a denial of service only
via manipulation the processed input stream. The attack uses the hash code implementation for collections
and maps to force recursive hash calculation causing a stack overflow. This issue is patched in version
1.4.20 which handles the stack overflow and raises an InputManipulationException instead. A potential
workaround for users who only use HashMap or HashSet and whose XML refers these only as default map or
set, is to change the default implementation of java.util.Map and java.util per the code example in the
referenced advisory. However, this implies that your application does not care about the implementation of
the map and all elements are comparable. (CVE-2022-41966)
