high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414427

Description

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

 - In Electron before versions 7.2.4, 8.2.4, and 9.0.0-beta21, arbitrary local file read is possible by
 defining unsafe window options on a child window opened via window.open. As a workaround, ensure you are
 calling `event.preventDefault()` on all new-window events where the `url` or `options` is not something
