SCA: security update for scancodeio (GHSA-6xcx-gx7r-rccj)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411700

Description

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

 - ScanCode.io is a server to script and automate software composition analysis pipelines. In the `/license/`
 endpoint, the detailed view key is not properly validated and sanitized, which can result in a potential
 cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability when attempting to access a detailed license view that does not
 exist. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into the response generated by
 the `license_details_view` function. When unsuspecting users visit the page, their browsers will execute
 the injected scripts, leading to unauthorized actions, session hijacking, or stealing sensitive
 information. This issue has been addressed in release `32.5.2`. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no
 known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-40024)
