SCA: security update for @grpc/grpc-js (GHSA-7v5v-9h63-cj86)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412267

Description

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

- @grpc/grps-js implements the core functionality of gRPC purely in JavaScript, without a C++ addon. Prior
to versions 1.10.9, 1.9.15, and 1.8.22, there are two separate code paths in which memory can be allocated
per message in excess of the `grpc.max_receive_message_length` channel option: If an incoming message has
a size on the wire greater than the configured limit, the entire message is buffered before it is
discarded; and/or if an incoming message has a size within the limit on the wire but decompresses to a
size greater than the limit, the entire message is decompressed into memory, and on the server is not
discarded. This has been patched in versions 1.10.9, 1.9.15, and 1.8.22. (CVE-2024-37168)
