SCA: security update for apache-airflow (GHSA-pxch-wr7m-rwxj)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417769

Description

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

 - Apache Airflow, versions 2.6.0 through 2.7.3 has a stored XSS vulnerability that allows a DAG author to
 add an unbounded and not-sanitized javascript in the parameter description field of the DAG. This
 Javascript can be executed on the client side of any of the user who looks at the tasks in the browser
 sandbox. While this issue does not allow to exit the browser sandbox or manipulation of the server-side
 data - more than the DAG author already has, it allows to modify what the user looking at the DAG details
 sees in the browser - which opens up all kinds of possibilities of misleading other users. Users of Apache
 Airflow are recommended to upgrade to version 2.8.0 or newer to mitigate the risk associated with this
 vulnerability (CVE-2023-47265)
