SCA: security update for @vendure/core (GHSA-9pp3-53p2-ww9v)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440397

Description

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

 - Vendure is an open-source headless commerce platform. Starting in version 1.7.4 and prior to versions
 2.3.4, 3.5.7, and 3.6.2, an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Vendure Shop API. A
 user-controlled query string parameter is interpolated directly into a raw SQL expression without
 parameterization or validation, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL against the database. This
 affects all supported database backends (PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite). The Admin API is also
 affected, though exploitation there requires authentication. Versions 2.3.4, 3.5.7, and 3.6.2 contain a
 patch. For those who are unable to upgrade immediately, Vendure has made a hotfix available that uses
 `RequestContextService.getLanguageCode` to validate the `languageCode` input at the boundary. This blocks
 injection payloads before they can reach any query. The hotfix replaces the existing `getLanguageCode`
 method in `packages/core/src/service/helpers/request-context/request-context.service.ts`. Invalid values
 are silently dropped and the channel's default language is used instead. The patched versions additionally
 convert the vulnerable SQL interpolation to a parameterized query as defense in depth. (CVE-2026-40887)

Solution

Update the @vendure/core library and its related packages to version 2.3.4 or later.
