SCA: security update for datasette (GHSA-7ch3-7pp7-7cpq)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411995

Description

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

 - Datasette is an open source multi-tool for exploring and publishing data. This bug affects Datasette
 instances running a Datasette 1.0 alpha - 1.0a0, 1.0a1, 1.0a2 or 1.0a3 - in an online accessible location
 but with authentication enabled using a plugin such as datasette-auth-passwords. The `/-/api` API explorer
 endpoint could reveal the names of both databases and tables - but not their contents - to an
 unauthenticated user. Datasette 1.0a4 has a fix for this issue. This will block access to the API explorer
 but will still allow access to the Datasette read or write JSON APIs, as those use different URL patterns
 within the Datasette `/database` hierarchy. This issue is patched in version 1.0a4. (CVE-2023-40570)
