SCA: security update for vega, vega-functions (GHSA-4vq7-882g-wcg4)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410414

Description

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

 - Vega is a visualization grammar, a declarative format for creating, saving, and sharing interactive
 visualization designs. The Vega `scale` expression function has the ability to call arbitrary functions
 with a single controlled argument. The scale expression function passes a user supplied argument group to
 getScale, which is then used as if it were an internal context. The context.scales[name].value is accessed
 from group and called as a function back in scale. This can be exploited to escape the Vega expression
 sandbox in order to execute arbitrary JavaScript. This issue has been fixed in version 5.13.1.
 (CVE-2023-26486)
