SCA: security update for @fastify/passport (GHSA-4m3m-ppvx-xgw9)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410269

Description

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

 - @fastify/passport is a port of passport authentication library for the Fastify ecosystem. Applications
 using `@fastify/passport` in affected versions for user authentication, in combination with
 `@fastify/session` as the underlying session management mechanism, are vulnerable to session fixation
 attacks from network and same-site attackers. fastify applications rely on the `@fastify/passport` library
 for user authentication. The login and user validation are performed by the `authenticate` function. When
 executing this function, the `sessionId` is preserved between the pre-login and the authenticated session.
 Network and same-site attackers can hijack the victim's session by tossing a valid `sessionId` cookie in
 the victim's browser and waiting for the victim to log in on the website. As a solution, newer versions of
 `@fastify/passport` regenerate `sessionId` upon login, preventing the attacker-controlled pre-session
 cookie from being upgraded to an authenticated session. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known
 workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-29019)
