SCA: security update for com.cedarpolicy:cedar-java (GHSA-4r9r-4425-74p7)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445406

Description

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

 - CedarJava is an open source Java implementation of the Cedar policy language, used for fine-grained
 authorization decisions. In versions prior to 4.9.0, the EntityIdentifier.equals() has inverted null/self
 branches which could lead to incorrect equality comparisons. The EntityIdentifier.equals() method has
 inverted logic for null and self-reference checks, returning true for null comparisons and false for self-
 comparisons. This does not affect Cedar authorization decisions (computed in Rust from JSON), but could
 affect integrators who perform their own equality checks on entity identifiers. This issue has been fixed
 in version 4.9.0. (CVE-2026-55771)

Solution

Update the com.cedarpolicy:cedar-java library and its related packages to version 2.3.6 or later.
