Alpine: py3-jwt: security update to 2.3.0-r0 (deprecated)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408528

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- PyJWT is a Python implementation of RFC 7519. PyJWT supports multiple different JWT signing algorithms.
With JWT, an attacker submitting the JWT token can choose the used signing algorithm. The PyJWT library
requires that the application chooses what algorithms are supported. The application can specify
`jwt.algorithms.get_default_algorithms()` to get support for all algorithms, or specify a single
algorithm. The issue is not that big as `algorithms=jwt.algorithms.get_default_algorithms()` has to be
used. Users should upgrade to v2.4.0 to receive a patch for this issue. As a workaround, always be
explicit with the algorithms that are accepted and expected when decoding. (CVE-2022-29217)
