SCA: security update for @openzeppelin/contracts, @openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable (GHSA-5h3x-9wvq-w4m2)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410841

Description

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

- OpenZeppelin Contracts is a library for smart contract development. By frontrunning the creation of a
proposal, an attacker can become the proposer and gain the ability to cancel it. The attacker can do this
repeatedly to try to prevent a proposal from being proposed at all. This impacts the `Governor` contract
in v4.9.0 only, and the `GovernorCompatibilityBravo` contract since v4.3.0. This problem has been patched
in 4.9.1 by introducing opt-in frontrunning protection. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to
upgrade may submit the proposal creation transaction to an endpoint with frontrunning protection as a
workaround. (CVE-2023-34234)
