SCA: security update for @solana/web3.js (GHSA-jcxm-7wvp-g6p5)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416304

Description

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

 - A publish-access account was compromised for `@solana/web3.js`, a JavaScript library that is commonly used
 by Solana dapps. This allowed an attacker to publish unauthorized and malicious packages that were
 modified, allowing them to steal private key material and drain funds from dapps, like bots, that handle
 private keys directly. This issue should not affect non-custodial wallets, as they generally do not expose
 private keys during transactions. This is not an issue with the Solana protocol itself, but with a
 specific JavaScript client library and only appears to affect projects that directly handle private keys
 and that updated within the window of 3:20pm UTC and 8:25pm UTC on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. These two
 unauthorized versions (1.95.6 and 1.95.7) were caught within hours and have since been unpublished. All
 Solana app developers should upgrade to version 1.95.8. Developers that suspect they might be compromised
 should rotate any suspect authority keys, including multisigs, program authorities, server keypairs, and
 so on. (CVE-2024-54134)
