SCA: security update for github.com/artifacthub/hub (GHSA-9pc8-m4vp-ggvf)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413392

Description

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

 - Artifact Hub is a web-based application that enables finding, installing, and publishing packages and
 configurations for CNCF projects. During a security audit of Artifact Hub's code base a security
 researcher identified a bug in which a default unsafe rego built-in was allowed to be used when defining
 authorization policies. Artifact Hub includes a fine-grained authorization mechanism that allows
 organizations to define what actions can be performed by their members. It is based on customizable
 authorization policies that are enforced by the `Open Policy Agent`. Policies are written using `rego` and
 their data files are expected to be json documents. By default, `rego` allows policies to make HTTP
 requests, which can be abused to send requests to internal resources and forward the responses to an
 external entity. In the context of Artifact Hub, this capability should have been disabled. This issue has
 been resolved in version `1.16.0`. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this
 vulnerability. (CVE-2023-45822)
