SCA: security update for loopback-connector-postgresql (GHSA-j259-6c58-9m58)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416055

Description

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

 - Improper input validation on the `contains` LoopBack filter may allow for arbitrary SQL injection. When
 the extended filter property `contains` is permitted to be interpreted by the Postgres connector, it is
 possible to inject arbitrary SQL which may affect the confidentiality and integrity of data stored on the
 connected database. A patch was released in version 5.5.1. This affects users who does any of the
 following: - Connect to the database via the DataSource with `allowExtendedProperties: true` setting OR -
 Uses the connector's CRUD methods directly OR - Uses the connector's other methods to interpret the
 LoopBack filter. Users who are unable to upgrade should do the following if applicable: - Remove
 `allowExtendedProperties: true` DataSource setting - Add `allowExtendedProperties: false` DataSource
 setting - When passing directly to the connector functions, manually sanitize the user input for the
 `contains` LoopBack filter beforehand. (CVE-2022-35942)
