SCA: security update for liquidjs (GHSA-mmg9-6m6j-jqqx)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440064

Description

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

 - LiquidJS is a Shopify / GitHub Pages compatible template engine in pure JavaScript. Prior to 10.25.3, the
 replace filter in LiquidJS incorrectly accounts for memory usage when the memoryLimit option is enabled.
 It charges str.length + pattern.length + replacement.length bytes to the memory limiter, but the actual
 output from str.split(pattern).join(replacement) can be quadratically larger when the pattern occurs many
 times in the input string. This allows an attacker who controls template content to bypass the memoryLimit
 DoS protection with approximately 2,500x amplification, potentially causing out-of-memory conditions. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 10.25.3. (CVE-2026-34166)

Solution

Update the liquidjs library and its related packages to version 10.25.3 or later.
