SCA: security update for wolfssl (GHSA-vj87-jj27-4h9c)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437397

Description

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

 - A vulnerability in the handling of verify_mode = CERT_REQUIRED in the wolfssl Python package (wolfssl-py)
 causes client certificate requirements to not be fully enforced. Because the
 WOLFSSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT flag was not included, the behavior effectively matched CERT_OPTIONAL:
 a peer certificate was verified if presented, but connections were incorrectly authenticated when no
 client certificate was provided. This results in improper authentication, allowing attackers to bypass
 mutual TLS (mTLS) client authentication by omitting a client certificate during the TLS handshake. The
 issue affects versions up to and including 5.8.2. (CVE-2025-15346)
