SCA: security update for jose-node-cjs-runtime (GHSA-rvcw-f68w-8h8h)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418934

Description

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

 - jose-node-cjs-runtime is an npm package which provides a number of cryptographic functions. In versions
 prior to 3.11.4 the AES_CBC_HMAC_SHA2 Algorithm (A128CBC-HS256, A192CBC-HS384, A256CBC-HS512) decryption
 would always execute both HMAC tag verification and CBC decryption, if either failed `JWEDecryptionFailed`
 would be thrown. But a possibly observable difference in timing when padding error would occur while
 decrypting the ciphertext makes a padding oracle and an adversary might be able to make use of that oracle
 to decrypt data without knowing the decryption key by issuing on average 128*b calls to the padding oracle
 (where b is the number of bytes in the ciphertext block). A patch was released which ensures the HMAC tag
 is verified before performing CBC decryption. The fixed versions are `>=3.11.4`. Users should upgrade to
 `^3.11.4`. (CVE-2021-29446)
