SCA: security update for next (GHSA-7m27-7ghc-44w9)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412123

Description

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

 - Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. Starting in version 13.0.0 and
 prior to versions 13.5.8, 14.2.21, and 15.1.2, Next.js is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack
 that allows attackers to construct requests that leaves requests to Server Actions hanging until the
 hosting provider cancels the function execution. This vulnerability can also be used as a Denial of Wallet
 (DoW) attack when deployed in providers billing by response times. (Note: Next.js server is idle during
 that time and only keeps the connection open. CPU and memory footprint are low during that time.).
 Deployments without any protection against long running Server Action invocations are especially
 vulnerable. Hosting providers like Vercel or Netlify set a default maximum duration on function execution
 to reduce the risk of excessive billing. This is the same issue as if the incoming HTTP request has an
 invalid `Content-Length` header or never closes. If the host has no other mitigations to those then this
 vulnerability is novel. This vulnerability affects only Next.js deployments using Server Actions. The
 issue was resolved in Next.js 13.5.8, 14.2.21, and 15.1.2. We recommend that users upgrade to a safe
 version. There are no official workarounds. (CVE-2024-56332)
