SCA: security update for guarddog (GHSA-78m5-jpmf-ch7v)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411942

Description

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

 - GuardDog is a CLI tool to identify malicious PyPI packages. Versions prior to v0.1.8 are vulnerable to
 arbitrary file write when scanning a specially-crafted remote PyPI package. Extracting files using
 shutil.unpack_archive() from a potentially malicious tarball without validating that the destination file
 path is within the intended destination directory can cause files outside the destination directory to be
 overwritten. This issue is patched in version 0.1.8. Potential workarounds include using a safer module,
 like zipfile, and validating the location of the extracted files and discarding those with malicious
 paths. (CVE-2022-23530)
