SCA: security update for @vendure/core (GHSA-6f65-4fv2-wwch)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437400

Description

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

- Vendure is an open-source headless commerce platform. Prior to version 3.5.3, the
`NativeAuthenticationStrategy.authenticate()` method is vulnerable to a timing attack that allows
attackers to enumerate valid usernames (email addresses). In `packages/core/src/config/auth/native-
authentication-strategy.ts`, the authenticate method returns immediately if a user is not found. The
significant timing difference (~200-400ms for bcrypt vs ~1-5ms for DB miss) allows attackers to reliably
distinguish between existing and non-existing accounts. Version 3.5.3 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-25050)
