SCA: security update for @node-saml/node-saml (GHSA-4mxg-3p6v-xgq3)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428645

Description

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

 - A SAML library not dependent on any frameworks that runs in Node. In version 5.0.1, Node-SAML loads the
 assertion from the (unsigned) original response document. This is different than the parts that are
 verified when checking signature. This allows an attacker to modify authentication details within a valid
 SAML assertion. For example, in one attack it is possible to remove any character from the SAML assertion
 username. To conduct the attack an attacker would need a validly signed document from the identity
 provider (IdP). This is fixed in version 5.1.0. (CVE-2025-54419)
