SCA: security update for plone.rest (GHSA-h6rp-mprm-xgcq)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415539

Description

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

 - plone.rest allows users to use HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. in Plone. Starting in the
 2.x branch and prior to versions 2.0.1 and 3.0.1, when the `++api++` traverser is accidentally used
 multiple times in a url, handling it takes increasingly longer, making the server less responsive. Patches
 are available in `plone.rest` 2.0.1 and 3.0.1. Series 1.x is not affected. As a workaround, one may
 redirect `/++api++/++api++` to `/++api++` in one's frontend web server (nginx, Apache). (CVE-2023-42457)
