SCA: security update for kurwov (GHSA-hfrv-h3q8-9jpr)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415695

Description

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

- kurwov is a fast, dependency-free library for creating Markov Chains. An unsafe sanitization of dataset
contents on the `MarkovData#getNext` method used in `Markov#generate` and `Markov#choose` allows a
maliciously crafted string on the dataset to throw and stop the function from running properly. If a
string contains a forbidden substring (i.e. `__proto__`) followed by a space character, the code will
access a special property in `MarkovData#finalData` by removing the last character of the string,
bypassing the dataset sanitization (as it is supposed to be already sanitized before this function is
called). Any dataset can be contaminated with the substring making it unable to properly generate anything
in some cases. This issue has been addressed in version 3.2.5 and all users are advised to upgrade. There
are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-34075)
