SCA: security update for io.moquette:moquette-broker (GHSA-9jjc-fw8x-fmwx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 448264

Description

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

 - Moquette is a lightweight Java MQTT broker. Prior to 0.18.1, PostOffice.publishWill publishes a client-
 controlled Last Will message through publish2Subscribers without invoking the authorizator.canWrite check
 used by normal PUBLISH paths. When anonymous access is enabled and topic ACLs restrict writes, a remote
 client can set an ACL-protected topic as the Last Will Topic during CONNECT and perform an abnormal client
 disconnect, causing the broker to inject attacker-controlled messages into a topic for which the client
 lacks write permission. This issue is fixed in version 0.18.1. (CVE-2026-85058)

Solution

Update the io.moquette:moquette-broker library and its related packages to version 0.18.1 or later.
