SCA: security update for element-plus (GHSA-5m5x-9j46-h678)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435268

Description

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

 - Element Plus Link component (el-link) through 2.10.6 implements insufficient input validation for the href
 attribute, creating a security abstraction gap that obscures URL-based attack vectors. The component
 passes user-controlled href values directly to underlying anchor elements without protocol validation, URL
 sanitization, or security headers. This allows attackers to inject malicious URLs using dangerous
 protocols (javascript:, data:, file:) or redirect users to external malicious sites. While native HTML
 anchor elements present similar risks, UI component libraries bear additional responsibility for
 implementing security safeguards and providing clear risk documentation. The vulnerability enables XSS
 attacks, phishing campaigns, and open redirect exploits affecting applications that use Element Plus Link
 components with user-controlled or untrusted URL inputs. (CVE-2025-57665)
