SCA: security update for org.fhir:ucum (GHSA-w9j7-phm3-f97j)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419839

Description

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

 - Ucum-java is a FHIR Java library providing UCUM Services. In versions prior to 1.0.9, XML parsing
 performed by the UcumEssenceService is vulnerable to XML external entity injections. A processed XML file
 with a malicious DTD tag could produce XML containing data from the host system. This impacts use cases
 where ucum is being used to within a host where external clients can submit XML. Release 1.0.9 of Ucum-
 java fixes this vulnerability. As a workaround, ensure that the source xml for instantiating
 UcumEssenceService is trusted. (CVE-2024-55887)
