SCA: security update for mitmproxy (GHSA-gcx2-gvj7-pxv3)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415074

Description

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

 - mitmproxy is an interactive, SSL/TLS-capable intercepting proxy. In mitmproxy 7.0.4 and below, a malicious
 client or server is able to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks through mitmproxy. This means that a
 malicious client/server could smuggle a request/response through mitmproxy as part of another
 request/response's HTTP message body. While mitmproxy would only see one request, the target server would
 see multiple requests. A smuggled request is still captured as part of another request's body, but it does
 not appear in the request list and does not go through the usual mitmproxy event hooks, where users may
 have implemented custom access control checks or input sanitization. Unless mitmproxy is used to protect
 an HTTP/1 service, no action is required. The vulnerability has been fixed in mitmproxy 8.0.0 and above.
 There are currently no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-24766)
