critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441473

Description

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

- The fix for CVE-2026-41635 was not applied to the 2.1.X and 2.2.X branches. Here was the original issue
description: Apache MINA's AbstractIoBuffer.resolveClass() contains two branches, one of them (for static
classes or primitive types) does not check the class at all, bypassing the classname allowlist and
allowing arbitrary code to be executed. The fix checks if the class is present in the accepted class
filter before calling Class.forName(). Affected versions are Apache MINA 2.1.0 <= 2.1.11, and 2.2.0 <=
2.2.6. The problem is resolved in Apache MINA 2.1.12, and 2.2.7 by applying the classname allowlist
earlier. Affected are applications using Apache MINA that call IoBuffer.getObject(). Applications using
Apache MINA are advised to upgrade. (CVE-2026-42779)

Solution

Update the org.apache.mina:mina-core library and its related packages to version 2.1.12 or later.
