SCA: security update for next-auth (GHSA-xv97-c62v-4587)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420676

Description

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

 - NextAuth.js is a complete open source authentication solution for Next.js applications. `next-auth` users
 who are using the `EmailProvider` either in versions before `4.10.3` or `3.29.10` are affected. If an
 attacker could forge a request that sent a comma-separated list of emails (eg.:
 `[email protected],[email protected]`) to the sign-in endpoint, NextAuth.js would send emails to both
 the attacker and the victim's e-mail addresses. The attacker could then login as a newly created user with
 the email being `[email protected],[email protected]`. This means that basic authorization like
 `email.endsWith("@victim.com")` in the `signIn` callback would fail to communicate a threat to the
 developer and would let the attacker bypass authorization, even with an `@attacker.com` address. This
 vulnerability has been patched in `v4.10.3` and `v3.29.10` by normalizing the email value that is sent to
 the sign-in endpoint before accessing it anywhere else. We also added a `normalizeIdentifier` callback on
 the `EmailProvider` configuration, where you can further tweak your requirements for what your system
 considers a valid e-mail address. (E.g.: strict RFC2821 compliance). Users are advised to upgrade. There
 are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. If for some reason you cannot upgrade, you can normalize
 the incoming request using Advanced Initialization. (CVE-2022-35924)
