SCA: security update for @goauthentik/api (GHSA-vmf9-6pcv-xr87)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419415

Description

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

 - goauthentik is an open-source Identity Provider. In affected versions using a recovery flow with an
 identification stage an attacker is able to determine if a username exists. Only setups configured with a
 recovery flow are impacted by this. Anyone with a user account on a system with the recovery flow
 described above is susceptible to having their username/email revealed as existing. An attacker can easily
 enumerate and check users' existence using the recovery flow, as a clear message is shown when a user
 doesn't exist. Depending on configuration this can either be done by username, email, or both. This issue
 has been addressed in versions 2023.5.6 and 2023.6.2. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known
 workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2023-39522)
