Description

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

 - In Hibernate Validator 5.2.x before 5.2.5 final, 5.3.x, and 5.4.x, it was found that when the security
 manager's reflective permissions, which allows it to access the private members of the class, are granted
 to Hibernate Validator, a potential privilege escalation can occur. By allowing the calling code to access
 those private members without the permission an attacker may be able to validate an invalid instance and
 access the private member value via ConstraintViolation#getInvalidValue(). (CVE-2017-7536)
