SCA: security update for org.codehaus.groovy:groovy, org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all (GHSA-xphj-m9cc-8fmq)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420607

Description

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

 - When an application with unsupported Codehaus versions of Groovy from 1.7.0 to 2.4.3, Apache Groovy 2.4.4
 to 2.4.7 on classpath uses standard Java serialization mechanisms, e.g. to communicate between servers or
 to store local data, it was possible for an attacker to bake a special serialized object that will execute
 code directly when deserialized. All applications which rely on serialization and do not isolate the code
 which deserializes objects were subject to this vulnerability. (CVE-2016-6814)
