critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418413

Description

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

 - authentik is an open-source Identity Provider. Several API endpoints can be accessed by users without
 correct authentication/authorization. The main API endpoints affected by this are
 /api/v3/crypto/certificatekeypairs/<uuid>/view_certificate/,
 /api/v3/crypto/certificatekeypairs/<uuid>/view_private_key/, and /api/v3/.../used_by/. Note that all of
 the affected API endpoints require the knowledge of the ID of an object, which especially for certificates
 is not accessible to an unprivileged user. Additionally the IDs for most objects are UUIDv4, meaning they
 are not easily guessable/enumerable. authentik 2024.4.4, 2024.6.4 and 2024.8.0 fix this issue.
