SCA: security update for @actions/core (GHSA-7r3h-m5j6-3q42)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412224

Description

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

 - The GitHub Actions ToolKit provides a set of packages to make creating actions easier. The
 `core.exportVariable` function uses a well known delimiter that attackers can use to break out of that
 specific variable and assign values to other arbitrary variables. Workflows that write untrusted values to
 the `GITHUB_ENV` file may cause the path or other environment variables to be modified without the
 intention of the workflow or action author. Users should upgrade to `@actions/core v1.9.1`. If you are
 unable to upgrade the `@actions/core` package, you can modify your action to ensure that any user input
 does not contain the delimiter `_GitHubActionsFileCommandDelimeter_` before calling `core.exportVariable`.
 (CVE-2022-35954)
