SCA: security update for @sveltejs/kit (GHSA-5p75-vc5g-8rv2)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410942

Description

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

 - SvelteKit is a web development framework. The SvelteKit framework offers developers an option to create
 simple REST APIs. This is done by defining a `+server.js` file, containing endpoint handlers for different
 HTTP methods. SvelteKit provides out-of-the-box cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection to its users.
 While the implementation does a sufficient job in mitigating common CSRF attacks, prior to version 1.15.1,
 the protection can be bypassed by simply specifying a different `Content-Type` header value. If abused,
 this issue will allow malicious requests to be submitted from third-party domains, which can allow
 execution of operations within the context of the victim's session, and in extreme scenarios can lead to
 unauthorized access to users’ accounts. SvelteKit 1.15.1 updates the `is_form_content_type` function call
 in the CSRF protection logic to include `text/plain`. As additional hardening of the CSRF protection
 mechanism against potential method overrides, SvelteKit 1.15.1 is now performing validation on `PUT`,
 `PATCH` and `DELETE` methods as well. This latter hardening is only needed to protect users who have put
 in some sort of `?_method= override` feature themselves in their `handle` hook, so that the request that
 resolve sees could be `PUT`/`PATCH`/`DELETE` when the browser issues a `POST` request. (CVE-2023-29003)
