SCA: security update for react-adal (GHSA-7mpx-vg3c-cmr4)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412150

Description

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

 - This affects all versions of package react-adal. It is possible for a specially crafted JWT token and
 request URL can cause the nonce, session and refresh values to be incorrectly validated, causing the
 application to treat an attacker-generated JWT token as authentic. The logical defect is caused by how the
 nonce, session and refresh values are stored in the browser local storage or session storage. Each key is
 automatically appended by ||. When the received nonce and session keys are generated, the list of values
 is stored in the browser storage, separated by ||, with || always appended to the end of the list. Since
 || will always be the last 2 characters of the stored values, an empty string ("") will always be in the
 list of the valid values. Therefore, if an empty session parameter is provided in the callback URL, and a
 specially-crafted JWT token contains an nonce value of "" (empty string), then adal.js will consider the
 JWT token as authentic. (CVE-2020-7787)
