SCA: security update for github.com/tomwright/dasel/v3 (GHSA-4fcp-jxh7-23x8)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439007

Description

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

 - Dasel is a command-line tool and library for querying, modifying, and transforming data structures.
 Starting in version 3.0.0 and prior to version 3.3.1, Dasel's YAML reader allows an attacker who can
 supply YAML for processing to trigger extreme CPU and memory consumption. The issue is in the library's
 own `UnmarshalYAML` implementation, which manually resolves alias nodes by recursively following
 `yaml.Node.Alias` pointers without any expansion budget, bypassing go-yaml v4's built-in alias expansion
 limit. Version 3.3.2 contains a patch for the issue. (CVE-2026-33320)

Solution

Update the github.com/tomwright/dasel/v3 library and its related packages to version 3.3.2 or later.
