> As Karaf 4.2.x rebundles http.client (4.5.6) classes as seen at https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/karaf-4.2.10/jaas/modules/pom.xml#L180 <https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/karaf-4.2.10/jaas/modules/pom.xml#L180>. This makes it vulnerable and hence our security scans are detecting it as a vulnerable library. I created the the PR https://github.com/apache/karaf/pull/1243 <https://github.com/apache/karaf/pull/1243> to update httpclient.version to 4.5.13. Please take a look at it whenever it is possible and include it in the upcoming release of Karaf 4.2.x if it fits good.
