SCA: security update for kysely (GHSA-8cpq-38p9-67gx)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439090

Description

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

 - Kysely is a type-safe TypeScript SQL query builder. Prior to version 0.28.14, Kysely's
 `DefaultQueryCompiler.sanitizeStringLiteral()` only escapes single quotes by doubling them (`'` → `''`)
 but does not escape backslashes. When used with the MySQL dialect (where `NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES` is OFF by
 default), an attacker can use a backslash to escape the trailing quote of a string literal, breaking out
 of the string context and injecting arbitrary SQL. This affects any code path that uses
 `ImmediateValueTransformer` to inline values — specifically `CreateIndexBuilder.where()` and
 `CreateViewBuilder.as()`. Version 0.28.14 contains a fix. (CVE-2026-33468)

Solution

Update the kysely library and its related packages to version 0.28.14 or later.
