SCA: security update for github.com/consensys/gnark (GHSA-498w-5j49-vqjg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410069

Description

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

 - gnark is a zk-SNARK library that offers a high-level API to design circuits. Prior to version 0.9.0, for
 some in-circuit values, it is possible to construct two valid decomposition to bits. In addition to the
 canonical decomposition of `a`, for small values there exists a second decomposition for `a+r` (where `r`
 is the modulus the values are being reduced by). The second decomposition was possible due to overflowing
 the field where the values are defined. Upgrading to version 0.9.0 should fix the issue without needing to
 change the calls to value comparison methods. (CVE-2023-44378)
