SCA: security update for prismjs (GHSA-gj77-59wh-66hg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415165

Description

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

 - Prism is a syntax highlighting library. Some languages before 1.24.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression
 Denial of Service (ReDoS). When Prism is used to highlight untrusted (user-given) text, an attacker can
 craft a string that will take a very very long time to highlight. This problem has been fixed in Prism
 v1.24. As a workaround, do not use ASCIIDoc or ERB to highlight untrusted text. Other languages are not
 affected and can be used to highlight untrusted text. (CVE-2021-32723)
