SCA: security update for github.com/esm-dev/esm.sh (GHSA-h3mw-4f23-gwpw)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436121

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 is vulnerable to path traversal during NPM package tarball extraction. An attacker can
 craft a malicious NPM package containing specially crafted file paths (e.g., package/../../tmp/evil.js).
 When esm.sh downloads and extracts this package, files may be written to arbitrary locations on the
 server, escaping the intended extraction directory. This issue has been patched in version 136.
 (CVE-2025-65025)
