SCA: security update for jspdf (GHSA-f8cm-6447-x5h2)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436566

Description

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

 - jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript. Prior to version 4.0.0, user control of the first
 argument of the loadFile method in the node.js build allows local file inclusion/path traversal. If given
 the possibility to pass unsanitized paths to the loadFile method, a user can retrieve file contents of
 arbitrary files in the local file system the node process is running in. The file contents are included
 verbatim in the generated PDFs. Other affected methods are `addImage`, `html`, and `addFont`. Only the
 node.js builds of the library are affected, namely the `dist/jspdf.node.js` and `dist/jspdf.node.min.js`
 files. The vulnerability has been fixed in [email protected]. This version restricts file system access per
 default. This semver-major update does not introduce other breaking changes. Some workarounds
 areavailable. With recent node versions, jsPDF recommends using the `--permission` flag in production. The
 feature was introduced experimentally in v20.0.0 and is stable since v22.13.0/v23.5.0/v24.0.0. For older
 node versions, sanitize user-provided paths before passing them to jsPDF. (CVE-2025-68428)
