SCA: security update for tools.jackson.core:jackson-core (GHSA-6v53-7c9g-w56r)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438342

Description

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

 - jackson-core contains core low-level incremental ("streaming") parser and generator abstractions used by
 Jackson Data Processor. From version 3.0.0 to before version 3.1.0, the UTF8DataInputJsonParser, which is
 used when parsing from a java.io.DataInput source, bypasses the maxNestingDepth constraint (default: 500)
 defined in StreamReadConstraints. A similar issue was found in ReaderBasedJsonParser. This allows a user
 to supply a JSON document with excessive nesting, which can cause a StackOverflowError when the structure
 is processed, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). This issue has been patched in version 3.1.0.
 (CVE-2026-29062)
