SCA: security update for generator-jhipster (GHSA-4gpm-r23h-gprw)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410184

Description

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

 - JHipster generator-jhipster before 2.23.0 allows a timing attack against validateToken due to a string
 comparison that stops at the first character that is different. Attackers can guess tokens by brute
 forcing one character at a time and observing the timing. This of course drastically reduces the search
 space to a linear amount of guesses based on the token length times the possible characters.
