SCA: security update for org.scala-sbt:sbt (GHSA-x4ff-q6h8-v7gw)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439144

Description

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

 - sbt is a build tool for Scala, Java, and others. From version 0.9.5 to before version 1.12.7, on Windows,
 sbt uses Process("cmd", "/c", ...) to run VCS commands (git, hg, svn). The URI fragment (branch, tag,
 revision) is user-controlled via the build definition and passed to these commands without validation.
 Because cmd /c interprets &, |, and ; as command separators, a malicious fragment can execute arbitrary
 commands. This issue has been patched in version 1.12.7. (CVE-2026-32948)

Solution

Update the org.scala-sbt:sbt library and its related packages to version 1.12.7 or later.
