SCA: security update for github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve (GHSA-mc97-99j4-vm2v)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416899

Description

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

 - Soft Serve is a self-hostable Git server for the command line. Prior to version 0.6.2, a security
 vulnerability in Soft Serve could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass public key
 authentication when keyboard-interactive SSH authentication is active, through the `allow-keyless`
 setting, and the public key requires additional client-side verification for example using FIDO2 or GPG.
 This is due to insufficient validation procedures of the public key step during SSH request handshake,
 granting unauthorized access if the keyboard-interaction mode is utilized. An attacker could exploit this
 vulnerability by presenting manipulated SSH requests using keyboard-interactive authentication mode. This
 could potentially result in unauthorized access to the Soft Serve. Users should upgrade to the latest Soft
 Serve version `v0.6.2` to receive the patch for this issue. To workaround this vulnerability without
 upgrading, users can temporarily disable Keyboard-Interactive SSH Authentication using the `allow-keyless`
 setting. (CVE-2023-43809)
