SCA: security update for github.com/gin-gonic/gin (GHSA-2c4m-59x9-fr2g)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421694

Description

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

 - The filename parameter of the Context.FileAttachment function is not properly sanitized. A maliciously
 crafted filename can cause the Content-Disposition header to be sent with an unexpected filename value or
 otherwise modify the Content-Disposition header. For example, a filename of "setup.bat";x=.txt" will
 be sent as a file named "setup.bat". If the FileAttachment function is called with names provided by an
 untrusted source, this may permit an attacker to cause a file to be served with a name different than
 provided. Maliciously crafted attachment file name can modify the Content-Disposition header.
