SCA: security update for Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.SignedHttpRequest (GHSA-rv9j-c866-gp5h)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418932

Description

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

 - IdentityModel Extensions for .NET provide assemblies for web developers that wish to use federated
 identity providers for establishing the caller's identity. Anyone leveraging the
 `SignedHttpRequest`protocol or the `SignedHttpRequestValidator`is vulnerable. Microsoft.IdentityModel
 trusts the `jku`claim by default for the `SignedHttpRequest`protocol. This raises the possibility to make
 any remote or local `HTTP GET` request. The vulnerability has been fixed in
 Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.SignedHttpRequest. Users should update all their Microsoft.IdentityModel
 versions to 7.1.2 (for 7x) or higher, 6.34.0 (for 6x) or higher. (CVE-2024-21643)
