SCA: security update for ethyca-fides (GHSA-r25m-cr6v-p9hq)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418423

Description

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

 - Fides is an open-source privacy engineering platform for managing the fulfillment of data privacy requests
 in a runtime environment, and the enforcement of privacy regulations in code. A path traversal (directory
 traversal) vulnerability affects fides versions lower than version `2.15.1`, allowing remote attackers to
 access arbitrary files on the fides webserver container's filesystem. The vulnerability is patched in
 fides `2.15.1`. If the Fides webserver API is not directly accessible to attackers and is instead deployed
 behind a reverse proxy as recommended in Ethyca's security best practice documentation, and the reverse
 proxy is an AWS application load balancer, the vulnerability can't be exploited by these attackers. An AWS
 application load balancer will reject this attack with a 400 error. Additionally, any secrets supplied to
 the container using environment variables rather than a `fides.toml` configuration file are not affected
 by this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-36827)
