SCA: security update for shescape (GHSA-446w-rrm4-r47f)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409924

Description

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

 - Shescape is a shell escape package for JavaScript. An issue in versions 1.4.0 to 1.5.1 allows for exposure
 of the home directory on Unix systems when using Bash with the `escape` or `escapeAll` functions from the
 _shescape_ API with the `interpolation` option set to `true`. Other tested shells, Dash and Zsh, are not
 affected. Depending on how the output of _shescape_ is used, directory traversal may be possible in the
 application using _shescape_. The issue was patched in version 1.5.1. As a workaround, manually escape all
 instances of the tilde character (`~`) using `arg.replace(/~/g, "\\~")`. (CVE-2022-24725)
