SCA: security update for llhttp (GHSA-cggh-pq45-6h9x)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 421649

Description

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

 - The llhttp parser in the http module in Node v20.2.0 does not strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit
 HTTP requests. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). The CR character (without LF) is sufficient
 to delimit HTTP header fields in the llhttp parser. According to RFC7230 section 3, only the CRLF sequence
 should delimit each header-field. This impacts all Node.js active versions: v16, v18, and, v20
