SCA: security update for github.com/kiali/kiali (GHSA-ggjr-2f7v-vhq4)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415120

Description

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

 - An authentication bypass vulnerability was found in Kiali in versions before 1.31.0 when the
 authentication strategy `OpenID` is used. When RBAC is enabled, Kiali assumes that some of the token
 validation is handled by the underlying cluster. When OpenID `implicit flow` is used with RBAC turned off,
 this token validation doesn't occur, and this allows a malicious user to bypass the authentication.
