high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473040

Description

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

- jsoup through 1.23.2, fixed in commit 862ba2f, contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability
in XmlTreeBuilder that allows remote attackers to exhaust JVM heap memory by supplying a deeply nested XML
document with uniquely-namespaced elements. The builder copies the entire inherited namespace map on every
start element, causing quadratic time and memory complexity, which attackers can exploit to trigger an
OutOfMemoryError and terminate the application. (CVE-2026-75140)

Solution

Update the org.jsoup:jsoup library and its related packages to version 1.23.2 or later.
