This is in CMake 3.16.0:

commit 50bc359184472700e9776a0a9d6f7e06ea82b9ce

     expat: Update CMake build for 2.2.9

commit b63a5c88a2089494e53f22f83db1925435161934
Merge: 512fabaa9d 1712885b4f
Author: Brad King <brad.king@kitware.com>
Date:   Mon Nov 11 10:42:32 2019 -0500

     Merge branch 'upstream-expat' into update-expat

     * upstream-expat:
       expat 2019-09-25 (a7bc26b6)

These things _are_ updated regularly, but in case something is missed 
just file a bug at gitlab.kitware.com. All these bundled thing bumps are 
scripted as far as possible, so the actual overhead is quite small.
