SCA: security update for com.h2database:h2 (GHSA-22wj-vf5f-wrvj)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 421769

Description

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

 - The web-based admin console in H2 Database Engine before 2.2.220 can be started via the CLI with the
 argument -webAdminPassword, which allows the user to specify the password in cleartext for the web admin
 console. Consequently, a local user (or an attacker that has obtained local access through some means)
 would be able to discover the password by listing processes and their arguments. NOTE: the vendor states
 "This is not a vulnerability of H2 Console ... Passwords should never be passed on the command line and
 every qualified DBA or system administrator is expected to know that." Nonetheless, the issue was fixed in
 2.2.220. (CVE-2022-45868)
