SCA: security update for com.alipay.sofa:hessian (GHSA-pfwp-8pq4-g7pv)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 422513

Description

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

 - SOFA-Hessian through 4.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted serialized
 Hessian object because blacklisting of com.caucho.naming.QName and
 com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.objects.XString is mishandled, related to Resin Gadget. NOTE: The vendor
 doesn’t consider this issue a vulnerability because the blacklist is being misused. SOFA Hessian supports
 custom blacklist and a disclaimer was posted encouraging users to update the blacklist or to use the
 whitelist feature for their specific needs since the blacklist is not being actively updated
 (CVE-2019-9212)
