high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413865

Description

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

 - Forge (also called `node-forge`) is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript.
 Prior to version 1.3.0, RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification code is lenient in checking the digest
 algorithm structure. This can allow a crafted structure that steals padding bytes and uses unchecked
 portion of the PKCS#1 encoded message to forge a signature when a low public exponent is being used. The
 issue has been addressed in `node-forge` version 1.3.0. There are currently no known workarounds.
 (CVE-2022-24771)
