SCA: security update for org.apache.syncope:syncope-core (GHSA-jqg8-m35q-jh7j)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436167

Description

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

 - Apache Syncope can be configured to store the user password values in the internal database with AES
 encryption, though this is not the default option. When AES is configured, the default key value, hard-
 coded in the source code, is always used. This allows a malicious attacker, once obtained access to the
 internal database content, to reconstruct the original cleartext password values. This is not affecting
 encrypted plain attributes, whose values are also stored using AES encryption. Users are recommended to
 upgrade to version 3.0.15 / 4.0.3, which fix this issue. (CVE-2025-65998)
