SCA: security update for org.apache.druid:druid (GHSA-wrqf-rrrw-w3mg)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420105

Description

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

- Apache Druid includes the ability to execute user-provided JavaScript code embedded in various types of
requests. This functionality is intended for use in high-trust environments, and is disabled by default.
However, in Druid 0.20.0 and earlier, it is possible for an authenticated user to send a specially-crafted
request that forces Druid to run user-provided JavaScript code for that request, regardless of server
configuration. This can be leveraged to execute code on the target machine with the privileges of the
Druid server process. (CVE-2021-25646)
