SCA: security update for kiwitcms (GHSA-2fqm-m4r2-fh98)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408890

Description

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

 - Kiwi TCMS is an open source test management system for both manual and automated testing. Kiwi TCMS allows
 users to upload attachments to test plans, test cases, etc. Earlier versions of Kiwi TCMS had introduced
 upload validators in order to prevent potentially dangerous files from being uploaded and Content-
 Security-Policy definition to prevent cross-site-scripting attacks. The upload validation checks were not
 100% robust which left the possibility to circumvent them and upload a potentially dangerous file which
 allows execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the browser. Additionally we've discovered that Nginx's
 `proxy_pass` directive will strip some headers negating protections built into Kiwi TCMS when served
 behind a reverse proxy. This issue has been addressed in version 12.4. Users are advised to upgrade. Users
 unable to upgrade who are serving Kiwi TCMS behind a reverse proxy should make sure that additional header
 values are still passed to the client browser. If they aren't redefining them inside the proxy
 configuration. (CVE-2023-33977)
