Description
Dependency Security Scans of our project indicate that through org.cloudfoundry:cloudfoundry-client:5.6.0-RELEASE (most recent version as of writing) the dependency com.squareup.wire:wire-runtime:2.2.0 is declared.
This version is known to be subject to (at least) 3 CVEs (evidence):
- https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-8908
- https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-15250
- https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-10237
The most current version of wire-runtime is 4.0.1, dating from December 2021, which apparently has these CVEs fixed.
Is it possible for the project to bump to a newer version to resolve the associated security risks?

Research direction
Start with the cloudfoundry-client dependency declaration linked in the issue and inspect how wire-runtime 2.2.0 is resolved in the Java project. Check whether a newer wire-runtime version is compatible with the client, then verify that the existing build and tests pass; done means the listed CVE-affected version is no longer used.
