low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446667

Description

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

 - This affects all versions of package com.squareup:connect. The method prepareDownloadFilecreates creates a
 temporary file with the permissions bits of -rw-r--r-- on unix-like systems. On unix-like systems, the
 system temporary directory is shared between users. As such, the contents of the file downloaded by
 downloadFileFromResponse will be visible to all other users on the local system. A workaround fix for this
 issue is to set the system property java.io.tmpdir to a safe directory as remediation. Note: This version
 of the SDK is end of life and no longer maintained, please upgrade to the latest version. (CVE-2021-23331)
