high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419055

Description

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

- Versions of the package djoser before 2.3.0 are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass when the
authenticate() function fails. This is because the system falls back to querying the database directly,
granting access to users with valid credentials, and eventually bypassing custom authentication checks
such as two-factor authentication, LDAP validations, or requirements from configured
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. (CVE-2024-21543)
