SCA: security update for mindsdb (GHSA-7x45-phmr-9wqp)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412324

Description

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

 - MindsDB is an open source machine learning platform. An unsafe extraction is being performed using
 `shutil.unpack_archive()` from a remotely retrieved tarball. Which may lead to the writing of the
 extracted files to an unintended location. This vulnerability is sometimes called a **TarSlip** or a
 **ZipSlip variant**. Unpacking files using the high-level function `shutil.unpack_archive()` from a
 potentially malicious tarball without validating that the destination file path remained within the
 intended destination directory may cause files to be overwritten outside the destination directory. An
 attacker could craft a malicious tarball with a filename path, such as
 `../../../../../../../../etc/passwd`, and then serve the archive remotely using a personal bucket `s3`,
 thus, retrieve the tarball through **mindsdb** and overwrite the system files of the hosting server. This
 issue has been addressed in version 22.11.4.3. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade
 should avoid ingesting archives from untrusted sources. (CVE-2022-23522)
