SCA: security update for faraday (GHSA-33mh-2634-fwr2)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437661

Description

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

 - Faraday is an HTTP client library abstraction layer that provides a common interface over many adapters.
 Prior to 2.14.1, Faraday's build_exclusive_url method (in lib/faraday/connection.rb) uses Ruby's URI#merge
 to combine the connection's base URL with a user-supplied path. Per RFC 3986, protocol-relative URLs (e.g.
 //evil.com/path) are treated as network-path references that override the base URL's host/authority
 component. This means that if any application passes user-controlled input to Faraday's get(), post(),
 build_url(), or other request methods, an attacker can supply a protocol-relative URL like
 //attacker.com/endpoint to redirect the request to an arbitrary host, enabling Server-Side Request Forgery
 (SSRF). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.14.1. (CVE-2026-25765)
