SCA: security update for highlight.run (GHSA-9qpj-qq2r-5mcc)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413427

Description

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

- Highlight is an open source, full-stack monitoring platform. Highlight may record passwords on customer
deployments when a password html input is switched to `type="text"` via a javascript "Show Password"
button. This differs from the expected behavior which always obfuscates `type="password"` inputs. A
customer may assume that switching to `type="text"` would also not record this input; hence, they would
not add additional `highlight-mask` css-class obfuscation to this part of the DOM, resulting in
unintentional recording of a password value when a `Show Password` button is used. This issue was patched
in version 6.0.0. This patch tracks changes to the `type` attribute of an input to ensure an input that
used to be a `type="password"` continues to be obfuscated. (CVE-2023-33187)
