SCA: security update for io.ratpack:ratpack-session (GHSA-phj8-4cq3-794g)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417539
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Ratpack is a toolkit for creating web applications. In versions prior to 1.9.0, the default configuration
of client side sessions results in unencrypted, but signed, data being set as cookie values. This means
that if something sensitive goes into the session, it could be read by something with access to the
cookies. For this to be a vulnerability, some kind of sensitive data would need to be stored in the
session and the session cookie would have to leak. For example, the cookies are not configured with
httpOnly and an adjacent XSS vulnerability within the site allowed capture of the cookies. As of version
1.9.0, a securely randomly generated signing key is used. As a workaround, one may supply an encryption
key, as per the documentation recommendation. (CVE-2021-29481)
