SCA: security update for org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik (GHSA-qwgx-59jw-qfg9)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418364

Description

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

 - In Apache Batik before 1.9, files lying on the filesystem of the server which uses batik can be revealed
 to arbitrary users who send maliciously formed SVG files. The file types that can be shown depend on the
 user context in which the exploitable application is running. If the user is root a full compromise of the
 server - including confidential or sensitive files - would be possible. XXE can also be used to attack the
 availability of the server via denial of service as the references within a xml document can trivially
 trigger an amplification attack. (CVE-2017-5662)
