SCA: security update for org.apache.syncope.core:syncope-core-spring (GHSA-825g-mm5v-ggq4)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435679

Description

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

 - Apache Syncope offers the ability to extend / customize the base behavior on every deployment by allowing
 to provide custom implementations of a few Java interfaces; such implementations can be provided either as
 Java or Groovy classes, with the latter being particularly attractive as the machinery is set for runtime
 reload. Such a feature has been available for a while, but recently it was discovered that a malicious
 administrator can inject Groovy code that can be executed remotely by a running Apache Syncope Core
 instance. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.14 / 4.0.2, which fix this issue by forcing the
 Groovy code to run in a sandbox. (CVE-2025-57738)
