SCA: security update for neoan3-apps/template (GHSA-3v56-q6r6-4gcw)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409692

Description

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

 - neoan3-apps/template is a neoan3 minimal template engine. Versions prior to 1.1.1 have allowed for passing
 in closures directly into the template engine. As a result values that are callable are executed by the
 template engine. The issue arises if a value has the same name as a method or function in scope and can
 therefore be executed either by mistake or maliciously. In theory all users of the package are affected as
 long as they either deal with direct user input or database values. A multi-step attack on is therefore
 plausible. Version 1.1.1 has addressed this vulnerability. Unfortunately only working with hardcoded
 values is safe in prior versions. As this likely defeats the purpose of a template engine, please upgrade.
