SCA: security update for paypal-ipn (GHSA-h698-r4hm-w94p)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415516

Description

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

 - paypal-ipn before 3.0.0 uses the `test_ipn` parameter (which is set by the PayPal IPN simulator) to
 determine if it should use the production PayPal site or the sandbox. With a bit of time, an attacker
 could craft a request using the simulator that would fool any application which does not explicitly check
 for test_ipn in production. (CVE-2014-10067)
