SCA: security update for parse-server (GHSA-rh9j-f5f8-rvgc)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418745

Description

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

- Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js.
Prior to versions 4.10.11 and 5.2.2, the certificate in the Parse Server Apple Game Center auth adapter
not validated. As a result, authentication could potentially be bypassed by making a fake certificate
accessible via certain Apple domains and providing the URL to that certificate in an authData object.
Versions 4.0.11 and 5.2.2 prevent this by introducing a new `rootCertificateUrl` property to the Parse
Server Apple Game Center auth adapter which takes the URL to the root certificate of Apple's Game Center
authentication certificate. If no value is set, the `rootCertificateUrl` property defaults to the URL of
the current root certificate as of May 27, 2022. Keep in mind that the root certificate can change at any
time and that it is the developer's responsibility to keep the root certificate URL up-to-date when using
the Parse Server Apple Game Center auth adapter. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
