SCA: security update for convict (GHSA-jjf5-wx3j-3fv7)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416422

Description

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

 - This affects the package convict before 6.2.3. This is a bypass of
 [CVE-2022-22143](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-CONVICT-2340604). The
 [fix](https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/commit/3b86be087d8f14681a9c889d45da7fe3ad9cd880) introduced,
 relies on the startsWith method and does not prevent the vulnerability: before splitting the path, it
 checks if it starts with __proto__ or this.constructor.prototype. To bypass this check it's possible to
 prepend the dangerous paths with any string value followed by a dot, like for example foo.__proto__ or
 foo.this.constructor.prototype. (CVE-2022-21190)
