SCA: security update for class-validator (GHSA-fj58-h2fr-3pp2)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414545

Description

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

 - In TypeStack class-validator 0.10.2, validate() input validation can be bypassed because certain internal
 attributes can be overwritten via a conflicting name. Even though there is an optional forbidUnknownValues
 parameter that can be used to reduce the risk of this bypass, this option is not documented and thus most
 developers configure input validation in the vulnerable default manner. With this vulnerability, attackers
 can launch SQL Injection or XSS attacks by injecting arbitrary malicious input. NOTE: a software
 maintainer agrees with the "is not documented" finding but suggests that much of the responsibility for
 the risk lies in a different product. (CVE-2019-18413)
