SCA: security update for swiper (GHSA-hmx5-qpq5-p643)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437884

Description

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

 - Swiper is a free and mobile touch slider with hardware accelerated transitions and native behavior.
 Versions 6.5.1 through 12.1.1 have a Prototype pollution vulnerability. The vulnerability resides in line
 94 of shared/utils.mjs, where the indexOf() function is used to check whether user provided input contain
 forbidden strings. Despite a previous fix that attempted to mitigate prototype pollution by checking
 whether user input contained a forbidden key, it is still possible to pollute Object.prototype via a
 crafted input using Array.prototype. The exploit works across Windows and Linux and on Node and Bun
 runtimes. Any application that processes attacker-controlled input using this package may be affected by
 the following: Authentication Bypass, Denial of Service and RCE. This issue is fixed in version 12.1.2.
 (CVE-2026-27212)
