SCA: security update for org.geonetwork-opensource:geonetwork (GHSA-582q-v28r-7cxr)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444208

Description

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

 - GeoNetwork is a catalog application to manage spatially referenced resources. From 4.0.0-alpha.1 until
 4.2.16 and 4.4.11, the Elasticsearch-backed search proxy can skip GeoNetwork's access-control filter
 injection when a client request has an omitted query field. The request is then forwarded to Elasticsearch
 without group visibility, draft exclusion, record ownership, or portal-specific filtering. An
 unauthenticated remote attacker can use the affected public search API to retrieve the full indexed
 contents of metadata records that should not be publicly visible. This issue is fixed in versions 4.2.16
 and 4.4.11. (CVE-2026-46487)

Solution

Update the org.geonetwork-opensource:geonetwork library and its related packages to version 4.2.16 or later.
