SCA: security update for org.geonetwork-opensource:geonetwork (GHSA-2v4m-fw6c-g78f)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444214

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 3.0.0 until 4.2.15 and
4.4.10, requesting a nonexistent or unauthorized service URL can cause an error page to reflect attacker-
controlled request content inside an AngularJS application without adequately neutralizing it for template
evaluation. A remote attacker can induce a victim, including an administrator, to open a crafted link so
the reflected value is evaluated as an AngularJS template expression. Combined with known AngularJS
sandbox-escape techniques, this can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's authenticated browser
session, disclose information, or perform actions as the victim. This issue is fixed in versions 4.2.15
and 4.4.10. (CVE-2026-39379)

Solution

Update the org.geonetwork-opensource:geonetwork library and its related packages to version 4.2.15 or later.
