SCA: security update for github.com/esm-dev/esm.sh (GHSA-hcpf-qv9m-vfgp)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436117

Description

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

 - esm.sh is a nobuild content delivery network(CDN) for modern web development. Prior to version 136, The
 esm.sh CDN service contains a Template Literal Injection vulnerability (CWE-94) in its CSS-to-JavaScript
 module conversion feature. When a CSS file is requested with the ?module query parameter, esm.sh converts
 it to a JavaScript module by embedding the CSS content directly into a template literal without proper
 sanitization. An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code using ${...} expressions within CSS files,
 which will execute when the module is imported by victim applications. This enables Cross-Site Scripting
 (XSS) in browsers and Remote Code Execution (RCE) in Electron applications. This issue has been patched in
 version 136. (CVE-2025-65026)
