SCA: security update for nautobot (GHSA-75mc-3pjc-727q)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411842

Description

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

 - Nautobot is a Network Source of Truth and Network Automation Platform built as a web application atop the
 Django Python framework with a PostgreSQL or MySQL database. In Nautobot 1.x and 2.0.x prior to 1.6.7 and
 2.0.6, the URLs `/files/get/?name=...` and `/files/download/?name=...` are used to provide admin access to
 files that have been uploaded as part of a run request for a Job that has FileVar inputs. Under normal
 operation these files are ephemeral and are deleted once the Job in question runs. In the default
 implementation used in Nautobot, as provided by `django-db-file-storage`, these URLs do not by default
 require any user authentication to access; they should instead be restricted to only users who have
 permissions to view Nautobot's `FileProxy` model instances. Note that no URL mechanism is provided for
 listing or traversal of the available file `name` values, so in practice an unauthenticated user would
 have to guess names to discover arbitrary files for download, but if a user knows the file name/path
 value, they can access it without authenticating, so we are considering this a vulnerability. Fixes are
 included in Nautobot 1.6.7 and Nautobot 2.0.6. No known workarounds are available other than applying the
 patches included in those versions. (CVE-2023-50263)
