### 🛡 Security Updates

Two HIGH severity vulnerabilities in `netty-handler` have been addressed by overriding the transitive netty dependency to 4.2.15.Final ([#277](https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cdc-source-connector/pull/277)):

- **CVE-2026-44249 (CVSS 8.1):** `IpSubnetFilterRule.compareTo()` performs an incorrect masking operation, allowing attackers to bypass IPv6 subnet ACL rules with crafted addresses.
- **CVE-2026-45416 (CVSS 7.5):** `SslClientHelloHandler.decode()` allocates up to 16 MiB of unpooled memory per TLS ClientHello when using `SniHandler` defaults, allowing a peer to trigger memory exhaustion (DoS) with a crafted handshake.
