SCA: security update for next-auth (GHSA-pgjx-7f9g-9463)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417516

Description

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

 - NextAuth.js is a complete open source authentication solution for Next.js applications. An attacker can
 pass a compromised input to the e-mail [signin endpoint](https://next-auth.js.org/getting-started/rest-
 api#post-apiauthsigninprovider) that contains some malicious HTML, tricking the e-mail server to send it
 to the user, so they can perform a phishing attack. Eg.: `[email protected], <a
 href="http://attacker.com">Before signing in, claim your money!</a>`. This was previously sent to
 `[email protected]`, and the content of the email containing a link to the attacker's site was rendered in
 the HTML. This has been remedied in the following releases, by simply not rendering that e-mail in the
 HTML, since it should be obvious to the receiver what e-mail they used: next-auth v3 users before version
 3.29.8 are impacted. (We recommend upgrading to v4, as v3 is considered unmaintained. next-auth v4 users
 before version 4.9.0 are impacted. If for some reason you cannot upgrade, the workaround requires you to
 sanitize the `email` parameter that is passed to `sendVerificationRequest` and rendered in the HTML. If
 you haven't created a custom `sendVerificationRequest`, you only need to upgrade. Otherwise, make sure to
 either exclude `email` from the HTML body or efficiently sanitize it. (CVE-2022-31127)
