SCA: security update for node-code-sandbox-mcp (GHSA-5w57-2ccq-8w95)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428315

Description

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

 - node-code-sandbox-mcp is a Node.js–based Model Context Protocol server that spins up disposable Docker
 containers to execute arbitrary JavaScript. Prior to 1.3.0, a command injection vulnerability exists in
 the node-code-sandbox-mcp MCP Server. The vulnerability is caused by the unsanitized use of input
 parameters within a call to child_process.execSync, enabling an attacker to inject arbitrary system
 commands. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the server process's privileges
 on the host machine, bypassing the sandbox protection of running code inside docker. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 1.3.0. (CVE-2025-53372)
