SCA: security update for matrix-js-sdk (GHSA-vhr5-g3pm-49fm)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419361

Description

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

 - matrix-js-sdk is a Matrix messaging protocol Client-Server SDK for JavaScript. A malicious homeserver can
 craft a room or room structure such that the predecessors form a cycle. The matrix-js-sdk's
 getRoomUpgradeHistory function will infinitely recurse in this case, causing the code to hang. This method
 is public but also called by the 'leaveRoomChain()' method, so leaving a room will also trigger the bug.
 This was patched in matrix-js-sdk 34.3.1. (CVE-2024-42369)
