Gusted ce10ec2878 [SEC] Ensure propagation of API scopes for Conan and Container authentication
- The Conan and Container packages use a different type of
authentication. It first authenticates via the regular way (api tokens
or user:password, handled via `auth.Basic`) and then generates a JWT
token that is used by the package software (such as Docker) to do the
action they wanted to do. This JWT token didn't properly propagate the
API scopes that the token was generated for, and thus could lead to a
'scope escalation' within the Conan and Container packages, read
access to write access.
- Store the API scope in the JWT token, so it can be propagated on
subsequent calls that uses that JWT token.
- Integration test added.
- Resolves #5128

The scope of application tokens is not verified when writing containers or Conan packages. This is of no consequence when the user associated with the application token does not have write access to packages. If the user has write access to packages, such a token can be used to write containers and Conan packages.
