SCA: security update for jsrsasign (GHSA-q3gh-5r98-j4h3)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417836

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in the jsrsasign package before 8.0.17 for Node.js. Its RSASSA-PSS (RSA-PSS)
 implementation does not detect signature manipulation/modification by prepending '\0' bytes to a signature
 (it accepts these modified signatures as valid). An attacker can abuse this behavior in an application by
 creating multiple valid signatures where only one signature should exist. Also, an attacker might prepend
 these bytes with the goal of triggering memory corruption issues. (CVE-2020-14968)
