SCA: security update for dompurify (GHSA-mmhx-hmjr-r674)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417038

Description

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

 - DOMPurify is a DOM-only, super-fast, uber-tolerant XSS sanitizer for HTML, MathML and SVG. It has been
 discovered that malicious HTML using special nesting techniques can bypass the depth checking added to
 DOMPurify in recent releases. It was also possible to use Prototype Pollution to weaken the depth check.
 This renders dompurify unable to avoid cross site scripting (XSS) attacks. This issue has been addressed
 in versions 2.5.4 and 3.1.3 of DOMPurify. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds
 for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-45801)
