SCA: security update for @workos-inc/authkit-nextjs (GHSA-p8pf-44ff-93gf)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436131

Description

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

 - The AuthKit library for Next.js provides convenient helpers for authentication and session management
 using WorkOS & AuthKit with Next.js. In authkit-nextjs version 2.11.0 and below, authenticated responses
 do not defensively apply anti-caching headers. In environments where CDN caching is enabled, this can
 result in session tokens being included in cached responses and subsequently served to multiple users.
 Next.js applications deployed on Vercel are unaffected unless they manually enable CDN caching by setting
 cache headers on authenticated paths. Patched in authkit-nextjs 2.11.1, which applies anti-caching headers
 to all responses behind authentication. (CVE-2025-64762)
