low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421307

Description

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

 - The Elliptic package 6.5.7 for Node.js, in its for ECDSA implementation, does not correctly verify valid
 signatures if the hash contains at least four leading 0 bytes and when the order of the elliptic curve's
 base point is smaller than the hash, because of an _truncateToN anomaly. This leads to valid signatures
 being rejected. Legitimate transactions or communications may be incorrectly flagged as invalid.
