SCA: security update for astro (GHSA-c4pw-33h3-35xw)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413648

Description

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

 - Astro is a web framework for content-driven websites. In affected versions a bug in Astro’s CSRF-
 protection middleware allows requests to bypass CSRF checks. When the `security.checkOrigin` configuration
 option is set to `true`, Astro middleware will perform a CSRF check. However, a vulnerability exists that
 can bypass this security. A semicolon-delimited parameter is allowed after the type in `Content-Type`. Web
 browsers will treat a `Content-Type` such as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded; abc` as a `simple
 request` and will not perform preflight validation. In this case, CSRF is not blocked as expected.
 Additionally, the `Content-Type` header is not required for a request. This issue has been addressed in
 version 4.16.17 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this
 vulnerability. (CVE-2024-56140)
