SCA: security update for goauthentik.io (GHSA-mrx3-gxjx-hjqj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417127

Description

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

 - Authentik is an open-source Identity Provider. There is a bug in our implementation of PKCE that allows an
 attacker to circumvent the protection that PKCE offers. PKCE adds the code_challenge parameter to the
 authorization request and adds the code_verifier parameter to the token request. Prior to 2023.8.7 and
 2023.10.7, a downgrade scenario is possible: if the attacker removes the code_challenge parameter from the
 authorization request, authentik will not do the PKCE check. Because of this bug, an attacker can
 circumvent the protection PKCE offers, such as CSRF attacks and code injection attacks. Versions 2023.8.7
 and 2023.10.7 fix the issue. (CVE-2024-23647)
