SCA: security update for @node-saml/node-saml (GHSA-vx8m-6fhw-pccw)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419597

Description

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

 - Node-SAML is a SAML library not dependent on any frameworks that runs in Node. The lack of checking of
 current timestamp allows a LogoutRequest XML to be reused multiple times even when the current time is
 past the NotOnOrAfter. This could impact the user where they would be logged out from an expired
 LogoutRequest. In bigger contexts, if LogoutRequests are sent out in mass to different SPs, this could
 impact many users on a large scale. This issue was patched in version 4.0.5. (CVE-2023-40178)
