SCA: security update for node-jose (GHSA-5h4j-qrvg-9xhw)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410842

Description

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

 - node-jose is a JavaScript implementation of the JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) for web browsers
 and node.js-based servers. Prior to version 2.2.0, when using the non-default "fallback" crypto back-end,
 ECC operations in `node-jose` can trigger a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition, due to a possible infinite
 loop in an internal calculation. For some ECC operations, this condition is triggered randomly; for
 others, it can be triggered by malicious input. The issue has been patched in version 2.2.0. Since this
 issue is only present in the "fallback" crypto implementation, it can be avoided by ensuring that either
 WebCrypto or the Node `crypto` module is available in the JS environment where `node-jose` is being run.
 (CVE-2023-25653)
