SCA: security update for @digitalbazaar/zcap (GHSA-hp8h-7x69-4wmv)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415856

Description

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

 - `@digitalbazaar/zcap` provides JavaScript reference implementation for Authorization Capabilities. Prior
 to version 9.0.1, when invoking a capability with a chain depth of 2, i.e., it is delegated directly from
 the root capability, the `expires` property is not properly checked against the current date or other
 `date` param. This can allow invocations outside of the original intended time period. A zcap still cannot
 be invoked without being able to use the associated private key material. `@digitalbazaar/zcap` v9.0.1
 fixes expiration checking. As a workaround, one may revoke a zcap at any time. (CVE-2024-31995)
