high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435230

Description

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

 - DuckDB is an analytical in-process SQL database management system. On 08 September 2025, the DuckDB
 distribution for Node.js on npm was compromised with malware (along with several other packages). An
 attacker published new versions of four of DuckDB's packages that included malicious code to interfere
 with cryptocoin transactions* According to the npm statistics, nobody has downloaded these packages before
 they were deprecated. The packages and versions `@duckdb/[email protected]`, `@duckdb/[email protected]`,
 `[email protected]`, and `@duckdb/[email protected]` were affected. DuckDB immediately deprecated the specific
 versions, engaged npm support to delete the affected verions, and re-released the node packages with
 higher version numbers (1.3.4/1.30.0). Users may upgrade to versions 1.3.4, 1.30.0, or a higher version to
 protect themselves. As a workaround, they may also downgrade to 1.3.2 or 1.29.1. (CVE-2025-59037)
