SCA: security update for codecov (GHSA-xp63-6vf5-xf3v)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420597

Description

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

 - In codecov (npm package) before version 3.7.1 the upload method has a command injection vulnerability.
 Clients of the codecov-node library are unlikely to be aware of this, so they might unwittingly write code
 that contains a vulnerability. A similar CVE (CVE-2020-7597 for GHSA-5q88-cjfq-g2mh) was issued but the
 fix was incomplete. It only blocked &, and command injection is still possible using backticks instead to
 bypass the sanitizer. The attack surface is low in this case. Particularly in the standard use of codecov,
 where the module is used directly in a build pipeline, not built against as a library in another
 application that may supply malicious input and perform command injection. (CVE-2020-15123)
