Description

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

 - Quarkus is a Java framework for building cloud-native applications. Prior to versions 3.37.0, 3.36.3,
 3.33.2.1, 3.33.3, 3.27.4.1, 3.27.5, and 3.20.6.2, Quarkus HTTP path-based authorization policies can be

 from CVE-2026-39852, which addressed only literal semicolon stripping. Versions 3.37.0, 3.36.3, 3.33.2.1,
 3.33.3, 3.27.4.1, 3.27.5, and 3.20.6.2 contain a patch. (CVE-2026-50559)
