SCA: security update for github.com/jpillora/chisel (GHSA-38jh-8h67-m7mj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409405

Description

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

 - Chisel is a fast TCP/UDP tunnel, transported over HTTP, secured via SSH. The Chisel server doesn't ever
 read the documented `AUTH` environment variable used to set credentials, which allows any unauthenticated
 user to connect, even if credentials were set. Anyone running the Chisel server that is using the `AUTH`
 environment variable to specify credentials to authenticate against is affected by this vulnerability.
 Chisel is often used to provide an entrypoint to a private network, which means services that are gated by
 Chisel may be affected. Additionally, Chisel is often used for exposing services to the internet. An
 attacker could MITM requests by connecting to a Chisel server and requesting to forward traffic from a
 remote port. This issue has been addressed in release version 1.10.0. All users are advised to upgrade.
 There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-43798)
