high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417772

Description

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

- GeoNode is an open source platform that facilitates the creation, sharing, and collaborative use of
geospatial data. A SSRF vulnerability exists starting in version 3.2.0, bypassing existing controls on the
software. This can allow a user to request internal services for a full read SSRF, returning any data from
the internal network. The application is using a whitelist, but the whitelist can be bypassed. The bypass
will trick the application that the first host is a whitelisted address, but the browser will use `@` or
`%40` as a credential to the host geoserver on port 8080, this will return the data to that host on the
response. Version 4.1.3.post1 is the first available version that contains a patch. (CVE-2023-42439)
