SCA: security update for @fastify/secure-session (GHSA-9wwp-q7wq-jx35)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413528

Description

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

 - @festify/secure-session creates a secure stateless cookie session for Fastify. At the end of the request
 handling, it will encrypt all data in the session with a secret key and attach the ciphertext as a cookie
 value with the defined cookie name. After that, the session on the server side is destroyed. When an
 encrypted cookie with matching session name is provided with subsequent requests, it will decrypt the
 ciphertext to get the data. The plugin then creates a new session with the data in the ciphertext. Thus
 theoretically the web instance is still accessing the data from a server-side session, but technically
 that session is generated solely from a user provided cookie (which is assumed to be non-craftable because
 it is encrypted with a secret key not known to the user). The issue exists in the session removal process.
 In the delete function of the code, when the session is deleted, it is marked for deletion. However, if an
 attacker could gain access to the cookie, they could keep using it forever. Version 7.3.0 contains a patch
 for the issue. As a workaround, one may include a "last update" field in the session, and treat "old
 sessions" as expired. (CVE-2024-31999)
