SCA: security update for bottle (GHSA-qhx9-7hx7-cp4r)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418154

Description

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

 - The package bottle from 0 and before 0.12.19 are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning by using a vector
 called parameter cloaking. When the attacker can separate query parameters using a semicolon (;), they can
 cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between the proxy (running with default
 configuration) and the server. This can result in malicious requests being cached as completely safe ones,
 as the proxy would usually not see the semicolon as a separator, and therefore would not include it in a
 cache key of an unkeyed parameter. (CVE-2020-28473)
