SCA: security update for pwpush (GHSA-ffp2-8p2h-4m5j)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414480

Description

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

 - Password Pusher, an open source application to communicate sensitive information over the web, comes with
 a configurable rate limiter. In versions prior to v1.49.0, the rate limiter could be bypassed by forging
 proxy headers allowing bad actors to send unlimited traffic to the site potentially causing a denial of
 service. In v1.49.0, a fix was implemented to only authorize proxies on local IPs which resolves this
 issue. As a workaround, one may add rules to one's proxy and/or firewall to not accept external proxy
 headers such as `X-Forwarded-*` from clients. (CVE-2024-52796)
