SCA: security update for next (GHSA-wr66-vrwm-5g5x)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420090

Description

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

 - Next.js is a React framework. Starting with version 12.0.0 and prior to version 12.0.9, vulnerable code
 could allow a bad actor to trigger a denial of service attack for anyone using i18n functionality. In
 order to be affected by this CVE, one must use next start or a custom server and the built-in i18n
 support. Deployments on Vercel, along with similar environments where invalid requests are filtered before
 reaching Next.js, are not affected. A patch has been released, `[email protected]`, that mitigates this issue.
 As a workaround, one may ensure `/${locale}/_next/` is blocked from reaching the Next.js instance until it
 becomes feasible to upgrade. (CVE-2022-21721)
