critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410943

Description

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

 - python-jwt is a module for generating and verifying JSON Web Tokens. Versions prior to 3.3.4 are subject
 to Authentication Bypass by Spoofing, resulting in identity spoofing, session hijacking or authentication
 bypass. An attacker who obtains a JWT can arbitrarily forge its contents without knowing the secret key.
 Depending on the application, this may for example enable the attacker to spoof other user's identities,
 hijack their sessions, or bypass authentication. Users should upgrade to version 3.3.4. There are no known
 workarounds. (CVE-2022-39227)
