SCA: security update for github.com/mholt/archiver (GHSA-h74j-692g-48mq)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415553

Description

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

 - All versions of archiver allow attacker to perform a Zip Slip attack via the "unarchive" functions. It is
 exploited using a specially crafted zip archive, that holds path traversal filenames. When exploited, a
 filename in a malicious archive is concatenated to the target extraction directory, which results in the
 final path ending up outside of the target folder. For instance, a zip may hold a file with a
 "../../file.exe" location and thus break out of the target folder. If an executable or a configuration
 file is overwritten with a file containing malicious code, the problem can turn into an arbitrary code
 execution issue quite easily. (CVE-2019-10743)
