SCA: security update for kiwitcms (GHSA-7j9h-3jxf-3vrf)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412108

Description

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

 - Kiwi TCMS, an open source test management system, does not impose rate limits in versions prior to 12.0.
 This makes it easier to attempt denial-of-service attacks against the Password reset page. An attacker
 could potentially send a large number of emails if they know the email addresses of users in Kiwi TCMS.
 Additionally that may strain SMTP resources. Users should upgrade to v12.0 or later to receive a patch. As
 potential workarounds, users may install and configure a rate-limiting proxy in front of Kiwi TCMS and/or
 configure rate limits on their email server when possible. (CVE-2023-25171)
