SCA: security update for channels (GHSA-v542-8q9x-cffc)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419076

Description

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

 - Django Channels 3.x before 3.0.3 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from a different
 request scope. The legacy channels.http.AsgiHandler class, used for handling HTTP type requests in an ASGI
 environment prior to Django 3.0, did not correctly separate request scopes in Channels 3.0. In many cases
 this would result in a crash but, with correct timing, responses could be sent to the wrong client,
 resulting in potential leakage of session identifiers and other sensitive data. Note that this affects
 only the legacy Channels provided class, and not Django's similar ASGIHandler, available from Django 3.0.
 (CVE-2020-35681)
