SCA: security update for github.com/projectdiscovery/interactsh (GHSA-m36x-mgfh-8g78)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416677

Description

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

- Interactsh is an open-source tool for detecting out-of-band interactions. Domains configured with
interactsh server prior to version 1.0.0 were vulnerable to subdomain takeover for a specific subdomain,
i.e `app.` Interactsh server used to create cname entries for `app` pointing to
`projectdiscovery.github.io` as default, which intended to used for hosting interactsh web client using
GitHub pages. This is a security issue with a self-hosted interactsh server in which the user may not have
configured a web client but still have a CNAME entry pointing to GitHub pages, making them vulnerable to
subdomain takeover. This allows a threat actor to host / run arbitrary client side code (cross-site
scripting) in a user's browser when browsing the vulnerable subdomain. Version 1.0.0 fixes this issue by
making CNAME optional, rather than default. (CVE-2023-36474)
