SCA: security update for org.opencastproject:base (GHSA-w29m-fjp4-qhmq)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 422685

Description

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

 - Opencast before 8.1 and 7.6 allows almost arbitrary identifiers for media packages and elements to be
 used. This can be problematic for operation and security since such identifiers are sometimes used for
 file system operations which may lead to an attacker being able to escape working directories and write
 files to other locations. In addition, Opencast's Id.toString(…) vs Id.compact(…) behavior, the latter
 trying to mitigate some of the file system problems, can cause errors due to identifier mismatch since an
 identifier may unintentionally change. This issue is fixed in Opencast 7.6 and 8.1. (CVE-2020-5230)
