json-20190722.jar: 2 vulnerabilities (highest severity is: 7.5)

[mend-for-github-com]

Vulnerable Library - json-20190722.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>
