SCA: security update for cassproject (GHSA-7qcx-4p32-qcmx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412204

Description

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

- CaSS is a Competency and Skills System. CaSS Library, (npm:cassproject) has a missing cryptographic step
when storing cryptographic keys that can allow a server administrator access to an account’s cryptographic
keys. This affects CaSS servers using standalone username/password authentication, which uses a method
that expects e2e cryptographic security of authorization credentials. The issue has been patched in 1.5.8,
however, the vulnerable accounts are only resecured when the user next logs in using standalone
authentication, as the data required to resecure the account is not available to the server. The issue may
be mitigated by using SSO or client side certificates to log in. Please note that SSO and client side
certificate authentication does not have this expectation of no-knowledge credential access, and
cryptographic keys are available to the server administrator. (CVE-2022-29229)
