SCA: security update for auth0-lock (GHSA-7ww6-75fj-jcj7)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412319

Description

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

- Auth0 is an authentication broker that supports both social and enterprise identity providers, including
Active Directory, LDAP, Google Apps, and Salesforce. In versions before `11.33.0`, when the “additional
signup fields” feature [is configured](https://github.com/auth0/lock#additional-sign-up-fields), a
malicious actor can inject invalidated HTML code into these additional fields, which is then stored in the
service `user_metdata` payload (using the `name` property). Verification emails, when applicable, are
generated using this metadata. It is therefor possible for an actor to craft a malicious link by injecting
HTML, which is then rendered as the recipient's name within the delivered email template. You are impacted
by this vulnerability if you are using `auth0-lock` version `11.32.2` or lower and are using the
“additional signup fields” feature in your application. Upgrade to version `11.33.0`. (CVE-2022-29172)
