SCA: security update for discordrb (GHSA-8832-4mm5-x2r6)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412528

Description

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

 - discordrb is an implementation of the Discord API using Ruby. In discordrb before commit `91e13043ffa` the
 `encoder.rb` file unsafely constructs a shell string using the file parameter, which can potentially leave
 clients of discordrb vulnerable to command injection. The library is not directly exploitable: the exploit
 requires that some client of the library calls the vulnerable method with user input. However, if unsafe
 input reaches the library method, then an attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands on the host
 machine. Full impact will depend on the permissions of the process running the `discordrb` library and
 will likely not be total system access. This issue has been addressed in code, but a new release of the
 `discordrb` gem has not been uploaded to rubygems. This issue is also tracked as `GHSL-2022-094`.
 (CVE-2023-28102)
