high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420414

Description

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

 - browserify-sign is a package to duplicate the functionality of node's crypto public key functions, much of
 this is based on Fedor Indutny's work on indutny/tls.js. An upper bound check issue in `dsaVerify`
 function allows an attacker to construct signatures that can be successfully verified by any public key,
 thus leading to a signature forgery attack. All places in this project that involve DSA verification of
 user-input signatures will be affected by this vulnerability. This issue has been patched in version
 4.2.2. (CVE-2023-46234)
