Description

Hi, the current Lilly server has 3 critical vulnerabilities:

  • CVE-2022-1471 - org.yaml:snakeyaml
  • CVE-2016-1000027 - org.springframework:spring-web
  • CVE-2019-10202 - org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-mapper-asl

I see that you may already have plan to upgrade Spring as indicated in this PR, just wondering whether there's a definite plan for it?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the referenced PR #1433 for the upgrade plan and apply similar changes to update the affected dependencies (snakeyaml, spring web, jackson mapper asl) to secure versions. Ensure existing tests pass.
