SCA: security update for mpath (GHSA-p92x-r36w-9395)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417412

Description

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

 - This affects the package mpath before 0.8.4. A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of
 CVE-2018-16490. In particular, the condition ignoreProperties.indexOf(parts[i]) !== -1 returns -1 if
 parts[i] is ['__proto__']. This is because the method that has been called if the input is an array is
 Array.prototype.indexOf() and not String.prototype.indexOf(). They behave differently depending on the
 type of the input. (CVE-2021-23438)
