SCA: security update for Zope (GHSA-g4gq-j4p2-j8fr)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414856

Description

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

 - Zope is an open-source web application server. Zope versions prior to versions 4.6.3 and 5.3 have a remote
 code execution security issue. In order to be affected, one must use Python 3 for one's Zope deployment,
 run Zope 4 below version 4.6.3 or Zope 5 below version 5.3, and have the optional `Products.PythonScripts`
 add-on package installed. By default, one must have the admin-level Zope "Manager" role to add or edit
 Script (Python) objects through the web. Only sites that allow untrusted users to add/edit these scripts
 through the web are at risk. Zope releases 4.6.3 and 5.3 are not vulnerable. As a workaround, a site
 administrator can restrict adding/editing Script (Python) objects through the web using the standard Zope
 user/role permission mechanisms. Untrusted users should not be assigned the Zope Manager role and
 adding/editing these scripts through the web should be restricted to trusted users only. This is the
 default configuration in Zope. (CVE-2021-32811)
