SCA: security update for express-openid-connect (GHSA-7p99-3798-f85c)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412169

Description

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

 - Express OpenID Connect is an Express JS middleware implementing sign on for Express web apps using OpenID
 Connect. Users of the `requiresAuth` middleware, either directly or through the default `authRequired`
 option, are vulnerable to an Open Redirect when the middleware is applied to a catch all route. If all
 routes under `example.com` are protected with the `requiresAuth` middleware, a visit to
 `http://example.com//google.com` will be redirected to `google.com` after login because the original url
 reported by the Express framework is not properly sanitized. This vulnerability affects versions prior to
 2.7.2. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-24794)
