Vulnerabilities in jars used by jmeter 5.6.3

I have been trying to run jmeter in a container, but image vulnerability
scanning tools suggest that jmeter is using some jars which have some
vulnerabilities. Basically it is using the nettify version which is older
than 4.1.44. You can find more details about vulnerability here:
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-20444 . So I was
wondering if I can build a jmeter binary from source and make some changes
somewhere so that it uses the latest nettify version. Any help and support
regarding this problem will be really appreciated.
Thanks.
