SCA: security update for Django (GHSA-6r97-cj55-9hrq)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 422959

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in Django 1.11.x before 1.11.23, 2.1.x before 2.1.11, and 2.2.x before 2.2.4. Due
 to an error in shallow key transformation, key and index lookups for
 django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField, and key lookups for django.contrib.postgres.fields.HStoreField,
 were subject to SQL injection. This could, for example, be exploited via crafted use of "OR 1=1" in a key
 or index name to return all records, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as
 the **kwargs passed to the QuerySet.filter() function. (CVE-2019-14234)
