SCA: security update for nautobot (GHSA-vf5m-xrhm-v999)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419279

Description

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

 - Nautobot is a Network Source of Truth and Network Automation Platform built as a web application atop the
 Django Python framework with a PostgreSQL or MySQL database. When submitting a Job to run via a Job
 Button, only the model-level `extras.run_job` permission is checked (i.e., does the user have permission
 to run Jobs in general). Object-level permissions (i.e., does the user have permission to run this
 specific Job?) are not enforced by the URL/view used in this case. A user with permissions to run even a
 single Job can actually run all configured JobButton Jobs. Fix will be available in Nautobot 1.6.8 and
 2.1.0 (CVE-2023-51649)

Solution

Update the nautobot library and its related packages to version 1.6.8 or later.
