SCA: security update for nodebb (GHSA-xmgg-fx9p-prq6)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420575

Description

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

 - NodeBB Forum Software is powered by Node.js and supports either Redis, MongoDB, or a PostgreSQL database.
 Due to an unnecessarily strict conditional in the code handling the first step of the SSO process, the
 pre-existing logic that added (and later checked) a nonce was inadvertently rendered opt-in instead of
 opt-out. This re-exposed a vulnerability in that a specially crafted Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack could
 theoretically take over another user account during the single sign-on process. The issue has been fully
 patched in version 1.17.2. (CVE-2022-36076)
