SCA: security update for path-to-regexp (GHSA-9wv6-86v2-598j)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413524

Description

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

 - path-to-regexp turns path strings into a regular expressions. In certain cases, path-to-regexp will output
 a regular expression that can be exploited to cause poor performance. Because JavaScript is single
 threaded and regex matching runs on the main thread, poor performance will block the event loop and lead
 to a DoS. The bad regular expression is generated any time you have two parameters within a single
 segment, separated by something that is not a period (.). For users of 0.1, upgrade to 0.1.10. All other
 users should upgrade to 8.0.0. (CVE-2024-45296)
