Hi,

The following vulnerabilities were published for libowasp-esapi-java.

CVE-2022-24891[0]:
| ESAPI (The OWASP Enterprise Security API) is a free, open source, web
| application security control library. Prior to version 2.3.0.0, there
| is a potential for a cross-site scripting vulnerability in ESAPI
| caused by a incorrect regular expression for "onsiteURL" in the
| **antisamy-esapi.xml** configuration file that can cause "javascript:"
| URLs to fail to be correctly sanitized. This issue is patched in ESAPI
| 2.3.0.0. As a workaround, manually edit the **antisamy-esapi.xml**
| configuration files to change the "onsiteURL" regular expression. More
| information about remediation of the vulnerability, including the
| workaround, is available in the maintainers' release notes and
| security bulletin.


CVE-2022-23457[1]:
| ESAPI (The OWASP Enterprise Security API) is a free, open source, web
| application security control library. Prior to version 2.3.0.0, the
| default implementation of `Validator.getValidDirectoryPath(String,
| String, File, boolean)` may incorrectly treat the tested input string
| as a child of the specified parent directory. This potentially could
| allow control-flow bypass checks to be defeated if an attack can
| specify the entire string representing the 'input' path. This
| vulnerability is patched in release 2.3.0.0 of ESAPI. As a workaround,
| it is possible to write one's own implementation of the Validator
| interface. However, maintainers do not recommend this.
