SCA: security update for wagtail (GHSA-fc75-58r8-rm3h)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414443

Description

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

 - Wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django. A user with a limited-permission
 editor account for the Wagtail admin can make a direct URL request to the admin view that handles bulk
 actions on user accounts. While authentication rules prevent the user from making any changes, the error
 message discloses the display names of user accounts, and by modifying URL parameters, the user can
 retrieve the display name for any user. The vulnerability is not exploitable by an ordinary site visitor
 without access to the Wagtail admin. Patched versions have been released as Wagtail 4.1.8 (LTS), 5.0.5 and
 5.1.3. The fix is also included in Release Candidate 1 of the forthcoming Wagtail 5.2 release. Users are
 advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-45809)
