SCA: security update for spotipy (GHSA-q764-g6fm-555v)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417952

Description

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

 - Spotipy is a light weight Python library for the Spotify Web API. In versions prior to 2.22.1, if a
 malicious URI is passed to the library, the library can be tricked into performing an operation on a
 different API endpoint than intended. The code Spotipy uses to parse URIs and URLs allows an attacker to
 insert arbitrary characters into the path that is used for API requests. Because it is possible to include
 "..", an attacker can redirect for example a track lookup via spotifyApi.track() to an arbitrary API
 endpoint like playlists, but this is possible for other endpoints as well. The impact of this
 vulnerability depends heavily on what operations a client application performs when it handles a URI from
 a user and how it uses the responses it receives from the API. This issue is patched in version 2.22.1.
 (CVE-2023-23608)
