critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419821

Description

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

 - yii2-authclient is an extension that adds OpenID, OAuth, OAuth2 and OpenId Connect consumers for the Yii
 framework 2.0. In yii2-authclient prior to version 2.2.15, the Oauth1/2 `state` and OpenID Connect `nonce`
 is vulnerable for a `timing attack` since it is compared via regular string comparison (instead of
 `Yii::$app->getSecurity()->compareString()`). Version 2.2.15 contains a patch for the issue. No known
 workarounds are available. (CVE-2023-50708)
