SCA: security update for github.com/openfga/openfga (GHSA-2hm9-h873-pgqh)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408941

Description

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

 - OpenFGA is an authorization/permission engine built for developers and inspired by Google Zanzibar.
 OpenFGA is vulnerable to a denial of service attack when certain Check calls are executed against
 authorization models that contain circular relationship definitions. When the call is made, it's possible
 for the server to exhaust resources and die. Users are advised to upgrade to v1.3.2 and update any
 offending models. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. Note that for models which
 contained cycles or a relation definition that has the relation itself in its evaluation path, checks and
 queries that require evaluation will no longer be evaluated on v1.3.2+ and will return errors instead.
 Users who do not have cyclic models are unaffected. (CVE-2023-43645)
