SCA: security update for kubeclient (GHSA-69p3-xp37-f692)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411345

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in all versions of kubeclient up to (but not including) v4.9.3, the Ruby client for
 Kubernetes REST API, in the way it parsed kubeconfig files. When the kubeconfig file does not configure
 custom CA to verify certs, kubeclient ends up accepting any certificate (it wrongly returns VERIFY_NONE).
 Ruby applications that leverage kubeclient to parse kubeconfig files are susceptible to Man-in-the-middle
 attacks (MITM). (CVE-2022-0759)
