SCA: security update for sails (GHSA-qmv4-jgp7-mf68)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 423089

Description

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

 - Sails is an MVC style framework for building realtime web applications. Version 0.12.7 and lower have an
 issue with the CORS configuration where the value of the origin header is reflected as the value for the
 Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. This would allow an attacker to make AJAX requests to vulnerable hosts
 through cross site scripting or a malicious HTML Document, effectively bypassing the Same Origin Policy.
 Note that this is only an issue when `allRoutes` is set to `true` and `origin` is set to `*` or left
 commented out in the sails CORS config file. The problem can be compounded when the cors `credentials`
 setting is not provided. At that point authenticated cross domain requests are possible. (CVE-2016-10549)
