SCA: security update for github.com/multiversx/mx-chain-go (GHSA-7xpv-4pm9-xch2)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412341

Description

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

 - mx-chain-go is an implementation of the MultiversX blockchain protocol written in the Go language.
 Metachain cannot process a cross-shard miniblock. Prior to version 1.4.16, an invalid transaction with the
 wrong username on metachain is not treated correctly on the metachain transaction processor. This is
 strictly a processing issue that could have happened on MultiversX chain. If an error like this had
 occurred, the metachain would have stopped notarizing blocks from the shard chains. The resuming of
 notarization is possible only after applying a patched binary version. A patch in version 1.4.16
 introduces `processIfTxErrorCrossShard` for the metachain transaction processor. There are no known
 workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2023-33964)
