medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438855

Description

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

 - Malicious configuration can lead to unauthorized file access in Apache Livy. This issue affects Apache
 Livy 0.7.0 and 0.8.0 when connecting to Apache Spark 3.1 or later. A request that includes a Spark
 configuration value supported from Apache Spark version 3.1 can lead to users gaining access to files they
 do not have permissions to. For the vulnerability to be exploitable, the user needs to have access to
 Apache Livy's REST or JDBC interface and be able to send requests with arbitrary Spark configuration
 values. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.9.0 or later, which fixes the issue.
