SCA: security update for erusev/parsedown (GHSA-62m3-fc7f-jpp8)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411121

Description

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

- Parsedown before 1.7.2, when safe mode is used and HTML markup is disabled, might allow attackers to
execute arbitrary JavaScript code if a script (already running on the affected page) executes the contents
of any element with a specific class. This occurs because spaces are permitted in code block infostrings,
which interferes with the intended behavior of a single class name beginning with the language- substring.
(CVE-2019-10905)
