SCA: security update for mongodb.driver (GHSA-p9rv-qgqw-jx2w)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437168

Description

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

 - Specific versions of the MongoDB C# Driver may erroneously publish events containing authentication-
 related data to a command listener configured by an application. The published events may contain
 security-sensitive data when commands such as "saslStart", "saslContinue", "isMaster", "createUser", and
 "updateUser" are executed. Without due care, an application may inadvertently expose this authenticated-
 related information, e.g., by writing it to a log file. This issue only arises if an application enables
 the command listener feature (this is not enabled by default). This issue affects the MongoDB C# Driver
 v2.12 versions prior to and including 2.12.1. (CVE-2021-20331)
