SCA: security update for github.com/dexidp/dex (GHSA-vh7g-p26c-j2cw)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419351

Description

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

 - Dex is an identity service that uses OpenID Connect to drive authentication for other apps. Dex instances
 with public clients (and by extension, clients accepting tokens issued by those Dex instances) are
 affected by this vulnerability if they are running a version prior to 2.35.0. An attacker can exploit this
 vulnerability by making a victim navigate to a malicious website and guiding them through the OIDC flow,
 stealing the OAuth authorization code in the process. The authorization code then can be exchanged by the
 attacker for a token, gaining access to applications accepting that token. Version 2.35.0 has introduced a
 fix for this issue. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
 (CVE-2022-39222)
