SCA: security update for ethyca-fides (GHSA-cvw4-c69g-7v7m)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414119

Description

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

 - Fides is an open-source privacy engineering platform. `fides.js`, a client-side script used to interact
 with the consent management features of Fides, used the `polyfill.io` domain in a very limited edge case,
 when it detected a legacy browser such as IE11 that did not support the fetch standard. Therefore it was
 possible for users of legacy, pre-2017 browsers who navigate to a page serving `fides.js` to download and
 execute malicious scripts from the `polyfill.io` domain when the domain was compromised and serving
 malware. No exploitation of `fides.js` via `polyfill.io` has been identified as of time of publication.
 The vulnerability has been patched in Fides version `2.39.1`. Users are advised to upgrade to this version
 or later to secure their systems against this threat. On Thursday, June 27, 2024, Cloudflare and Namecheap
 intervened at a domain level to ensure `polyfill.io` and its subdomains could not resolve to the
 compromised service, rendering this vulnerability unexploitable. Prior to the domain level intervention,
 there were no server-side workarounds and the confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts of this
 vulnerability were high. Clients could ensure they were not affected by using a modern browser that
 supported the fetch standard. (CVE-2024-38537)
