SCA: security update for changedetection.io (GHSA-6jrf-rcjf-245r)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411504

Description

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

- changedetection.io is a free open source web page change detection tool. The validation for the file URI
scheme falls short, and results in an attacker being able to read any file on the system. This issue only
affects instances with a webdriver enabled, and `ALLOW_FILE_URI` false or not defined. The check used for
URL protocol, `is_safe_url`, allows `file:` as a URL scheme. It later checks if local files are permitted,
but one of the preconditions for the check is that the URL starts with `file://`. The issue comes with the
fact that the file URI scheme is not required to have double slashes. This issue has been addressed in
version 0.47.06 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this
vulnerability. (CVE-2024-51998)
