SCA: security update for node-saml (GHSA-5p8w-2mvw-38pv)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410944

Description

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

- node SAML is a SAML 2.0 library based on the SAML implementation of passport-saml. A remote attacker may
be able to bypass SAML authentication on a website using passport-saml. A successful attack requires that
the attacker is in possession of an arbitrary IDP signed XML element. Depending on the IDP used, fully
unauthenticated attacks (e.g without access to a valid user) might also be feasible if generation of a
signed message can be triggered. Users should upgrade to node-saml version 4.0.0-beta5 or newer. Disabling
SAML authentication may be done as a workaround. (CVE-2022-39300)
