I realised a bit late that this was a duplicate of dependabot's #340 -- there's some comment and unused property clean-up that could go along with this change.

org.apache.flink:flink-streaming-java_${scala.binary.version}
org.xerial.snappy:snappy-java:1.1.4

It would be good to leave a comment here. As far as I can see Flink 1.16.2 has snappy-java 1.1.8.3 which is vulnerable - so you want to exclude it here. But 1.17 Flink and above uses snappy-java 1.1.10.4. So this is a point in time change, because of your dependancy on the back level Flink. I assume we would want to move to a provided dependancy when we depend on a Flink 1.17 or above. Have I understood this correctly?

Hello! If I understand correctly, the version of snappy brought in from flink-streaming-java must be compatible with the kafka client, or there's little hope of it working -- in my experience, this has always been the case with snappy patch releases, so 1.1.8.x should be OK with 1.1.10.x.

Users on Flink 1.16.2 will certainly have the vulnerability in flink-statefun (but also in all of the flink core APIs). We're currently voting on a 1.16.3 release with the bump.

I'm open to a comment suggestion, but I'm not sure what would be useful or remain timely! Wrangling dependencies is not an easy problem, so when I see an exclusion like this, I just assume the original author wanted a single authoritive source for the version.
