SCA: security update for scancodeio (GHSA-2ggp-cmvm-f62f)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408909

Description

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

 - ScanCode.io is a server to script and automate software composition analysis with ScanPipe pipelines.
 Prior to version 32.5.1, the software has a possible command injection vulnerability in the docker fetch
 process as it allows to append malicious commands in the `docker_reference` parameter. In the function
 `scanpipe/pipes/fetch.py:fetch_docker_image` the parameter `docker_reference` is user controllable. The
 `docker_reference` variable is then passed to the vulnerable function `get_docker_image_platform`.
 However, the `get_docker_image_plaform` function constructs a shell command with the passed
 `docker_reference`. The `pipes.run_command` then executes the shell command without any prior
 sanitization, making the function vulnerable to command injections. A malicious user who is able to create
 or add inputs to a project can inject commands. Although the command injections are blind and the user
 will not receive direct feedback without logs, it is still possible to cause damage to the
 server/container. The vulnerability appears for example if a malicious user adds a semicolon after the
 input of `docker://;`, it would allow appending malicious commands. Version 32.5.1 contains a patch for
 this issue. The `docker_reference` input should be sanitized to avoid command injections and, as a
 workaround, one may avoid creating commands with user controlled input directly. (CVE-2023-39523)
