SCA: security update for github.com/owncast/owncast (GHSA-9355-27m8-h74v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412980

Description

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

 - Owncast is an open source, self-hosted, decentralized, single user live video streaming and chat server.
 The Owncast application exposes an administrator API at the URL /api/admin. The emoji/delete endpoint of
 said API allows administrators to delete custom emojis, which are saved on disk. The parameter name is
 taken from the JSON request and directly appended to the filepath that points to the emoji to delete. By
 using path traversal sequences (../), attackers with administrative privileges can exploit this endpoint
 to delete arbitrary files on the system, outside of the emoji directory. This vulnerability is fixed in
 0.1.3. (CVE-2024-31450)
