json-20210307.jar: 2 vulnerabilities (highest severity is: 7.5) - autoclosed

[mend-for-github-com]

Vulnerable Library - json-20210307.jar

JSON is a light-weight, language independent, data interchange format. See http://www.JSON.org/

    The files in this package implement JSON encoders/decoders in Java.
    It also includes the capability to convert between JSON and XML, HTTP
    headers, Cookies, and CDL.

    This is a reference implementation. There is a large number of JSON packages
    in Java. Perhaps someday the Java community will standardize on one. Until
    then, choose carefully.

    The license includes this restriction: "The software shall be used for good,
    not evil." If your conscience cannot live with that, then choose a different
    package.</p>
