critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414493

Description

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

- OpenZepplin is a library for smart contract development. In affected versions a vulnerability in
TimelockController allowed an actor with the executor role to escalate privileges. Further details about
the vulnerability will be disclosed at a later date. As a workaround revoke the executor role from
accounts not strictly under the team's control. We recommend revoking all executors that are not also
proposers. When applying this mitigation, ensure there is at least one proposer and executor remaining.
