SCA: security update for whoogle-search (GHSA-q97g-c29h-x2p7)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418009

Description

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

 - Whoogle Search is a self-hosted metasearch engine. In versions prior to 0.8.4, the `element` method in
 `app/routes.py` does not validate the user-controlled `src_type` and `element_url` variables and passes
 them to the `send` method which sends a GET request on lines 339-343 in `request.py`, which leads to a
 server-side request forgery. This issue allows for crafting GET requests to internal and external
 resources on behalf of the server. For example, this issue would allow for accessing resources on the
 internal network that the server has access to, even though these resources may not be accessible on the
 internet. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.4. (CVE-2024-22203)
