SCA: security update for @plone/volto (GHSA-cfhh-xgwq-5r67)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413861

Description

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

 - Volto is a ReactJS-based frontend for the Plone Content Management System. Between versions 14.0.0-alpha.5
 and 15.0.0-alpha.0, a user could have their authentication cookie replaced with an authentication cookie
 from another user, effectively giving them control of the other user's account and privileges. This occurs
 when using an outdated version of the `react-cookie` library and a server is under high load. A proof of
 concept does not currently exist, but it is possible for this issue to occur in the wild. The patch and
 fix is present in Volto 15.0.0-alpha.0. As a workaround, one may manually upgrade the `react-cookie`
 package to 4.1.1 and then override all Volto components that use this library. (CVE-2022-24740)
