SCA: security update for github.com/ory/hydra (GHSA-3p3g-vpw6-4w66)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 431909

Description

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

 - In Hydra (an OAuth2 Server and OpenID Certified™ OpenID Connect Provider written in Go), before version
 1.4.0+oryOS.17, when using client authentication method 'private_key_jwt' [1], OpenId specification says
 the following about assertion `jti`: "A unique identifier for the token, which can be used to prevent
 reuse of the token. These tokens MUST only be used once, unless conditions for reuse were negotiated
 between the parties". Hydra does not check the uniqueness of this `jti` value. Exploiting this
 vulnerability is somewhat difficult because: - TLS protects against MITM which makes it difficult to
 intercept valid tokens for replay attacks - The expiry time of the JWT gives only a short window of
 opportunity where it could be replayed This has been patched in version v1.4.0+oryOS.17 (CVE-2020-5300)
