SCA: security update for org.apache.synapse:synapse-core (GHSA-p694-23q3-rvrc)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417333

Description

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

 - In Apache Synapse, by default no authentication is required for Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). So
 Apache Synapse 3.0.1 or all previous releases (3.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.0.0, 1.2, 1.1.2, 1.1.1) allows remote code
 execution attacks that can be performed by injecting specially crafted serialized objects. And the
 presence of Apache Commons Collections 3.2.1 (commons-collections-3.2.1.jar) or previous versions in
 Synapse distribution makes this exploitable. To mitigate the issue, we need to limit RMI access to trusted
 users only. Further upgrading to 3.0.1 version will eliminate the risk of having said Commons Collection
 version. In Synapse 3.0.1, Commons Collection has been updated to 3.2.2 version. (CVE-2017-15708)
