SCA: security update for phlex (GHSA-242p-4v39-2v8g)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408655

Description

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

 - phlex is an open source framework for building object-oriented views in Ruby. There is a potential cross-
 site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that can be exploited via maliciously crafted user data. This was due
 to improper case-sensitivity in the code that was meant to prevent these attacks. If you render an `<a>`
 tag with an `href` attribute set to a user-provided link, that link could potentially execute JavaScript
 when clicked by another user. If you splat user-provided attributes when rendering any HTML tag, malicious
 event attributes could be included in the output, executing JavaScript when the events are triggered by
 another user. Patches are available on RubyGems for all 1.x minor versions. Users are advised to upgrade.
 Users unable to upgrade should consider configuring a content security policy that does not allow `unsafe-
 inline`. (CVE-2024-28199)
