SCA: security update for @node-saml/node-saml, @node-saml/passport-saml, node-saml, passport-saml (GHSA-m974-647v-whv7)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416865

Description

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

 - Passport-SAML is a SAML 2.0 authentication provider for Passport, the Node.js authentication library. A
 remote attacker may be able to bypass SAML authentication on a website using passport-saml. A successful
 attack requires that the attacker is in possession of an arbitrary IDP signed XML element. Depending on
 the IDP used, fully unauthenticated attacks (e.g without access to a valid user) might also be feasible if
 generation of a signed message can be triggered. Users should upgrade to passport-saml version 3.2.2 or
 newer. The issue was also present in the beta releases of `node-saml` before version 4.0.0-beta.5. If you
 cannot upgrade, disabling SAML authentication may be done as a workaround. (CVE-2022-39299)
