SCA: security update for github.com/couchbase/sync_gateway (GHSA-g622-r636-qfqh)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414914

Description

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

- In Couchbase Sync Gateway 2.1.2, an attacker with access to the Sync Gateway’s public REST API was able to
issue additional N1QL statements and extract sensitive data or call arbitrary N1QL functions through the
parameters "startkey" and "endkey" on the "_all_docs" endpoint. By issuing nested queries with CPU-
intensive operations they may have been able to cause increased resource usage and denial of service
conditions. The _all_docs endpoint is not required for Couchbase Mobile replication and external access to
this REST endpoint has been blocked to mitigate this issue. This issue has been fixed in versions 2.5.0
and 2.1.3. (CVE-2019-9039)
