SCA: security update for org.pac4j:pac4j-core (GHSA-xw5c-jc7x-gf75)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440665

Description

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

 - PAC4J is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). A malicious attacker can craft a specially
 designed website which, when visited by a user, will automatically submit a forged cross-site request with
 a token whose hash collides with the victim's legitimate CSRF token. Importantly, the attacker does not
 need to know the victim’s CSRF token or its hash prior to the attack. Collisions in the deterministic
 String.hashCode() function can be computed directly, reducing the effective token's security space to 32
 bits. This bypasses CSRF protection, allowing profile updates, password changes, account linking, and any
 other state-changing operations to be performed without the victim's consent. This issue was fixed in
 PAC4J versions 5.7.10 and 6.4.1 (CVE-2026-40458)

Solution

Update the org.pac4j:pac4j-core library and its related packages to version 5.7.10 or later.
