SCA: security update for github.com/syncthing/syncthing (GHSA-9rp6-23gf-4c3h)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413449

Description

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

 - Syncthing is an open source, continuous file synchronization program. In versions prior to 1.23.5 a
 compromised instance with shared folders could sync malicious files which contain arbitrary HTML and
 JavaScript in the name. If the owner of another device looks over the shared folder settings and moves the
 mouse over the latest sync, a script could be executed to change settings for shared folders or add
 devices automatically. Additionally adding a new device with a malicious name could embed HTML or
 JavaScript inside parts of the page. As a result the webUI may be subject to a stored cross site scripting
 attack. This issue has been addressed in version 1.23.5. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to
 upgrade should avoid sharing folders with untrusted users. (CVE-2022-46165)
