SCA: security update for rails_multisite (GHSA-844m-cpr9-jcmh)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412407

Description

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

 - rails_multisite provides multi-db support for Rails applications. In affected versions this vulnerability
 impacts any Rails applications using `rails_multisite` alongside Rails' signed/encrypted cookies.
 Depending on how the application makes use of these cookies, it may be possible for an attacker to re-use
 cookies on different 'sites' within a multi-site Rails application. The issue has been patched in v4 of
 the `rails_multisite` gem. Note that this upgrade will invalidate all previous signed/encrypted cookies.
 The impact of this invalidation will vary based on the application architecture. (CVE-2021-41263)
