Vulnerable Package issue exists @ Maven-org.json:json-20090211 in branch master

The package JSON-java before 20200518 is vulnerable to Denial Of Service. The function nextMeta in the file XMLTokener.java runs into an infinite loop as the JSONTokener.nextMeta() function
returns the same character repeatedly and never advances the Tokener index. Due to this flaw, the availability of the application is affected.
