SCA: security update for django-filter (GHSA-x7gm-rfgv-w973)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420356

Description

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

- django-filter is a generic system for filtering Django QuerySets based on user selections. In django-
filter before version 2.4.0, automatically generated `NumberFilter` instances, whose value was later
converted to an integer, were subject to potential DoS from maliciously input using exponential format
with sufficiently large exponents. Version 2.4.0+ applies a `MaxValueValidator` with a a default
`limit_value` of 1e50 to the form field used by `NumberFilter` instances. In addition, `NumberFilter`
implements the new `get_max_validator()` which should return a configured validator instance to customise
the limit, or else `None` to disable the additional validation. Users may manually apply an equivalent
validator if they are not able to upgrade. (CVE-2020-15225)
