SCA: security update for matrix-appservice-irc (GHSA-c7hh-3v6c-fj4q)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413746

Description

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

 - matrix-appservice-irc is a Node.js IRC bridge for Matrix. Prior to version 1.0.1, it was possible to craft
 an event such that it would leak part of a targeted message event from another bridged room. This required
 knowing an event ID to target. Version 1.0.1n fixes this issue. As a workaround, set the
 `matrixHandler.eventCacheSize` config value to `0`. This workaround may impact performance.
 (CVE-2023-38700)
