SCA: security update for oauthenticator (GHSA-8x3m-m3x9-54fj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412920

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in Project Jupyter JupyterHub OAuthenticator 0.6.x before 0.6.2 and 0.7.x before
 0.7.3. When using JupyterHub with GitLab group whitelisting for access control, group membership was not
 checked correctly, allowing members not in the whitelisted groups to create accounts on the Hub. (Users
 were not allowed to access other users' accounts, but could create their own accounts on the Hub linked to
 their GitLab account. GitLab authentication not using gitlab_group_whitelist is unaffected. No other
 Authenticators are affected.) (CVE-2018-7206)
