SCA: security update for math-codegen (GHSA-p6x5-p4xf-cc4r)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440602

Description

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

 - math-codegen generates code from mathematical expressions. Prior to version 0.4.3, string literal content
 passed to cg.parse() is injected verbatim into a new Function() body without sanitization. This allows an
 attacker to execute arbitrary system commands when user-controlled input reaches the parser. Any
 application exposing a math evaluation endpoint where user input flows into cg.parse() is vulnerable to
 full RCE. This issue has been patched in version 0.4.3. (CVE-2026-41507)

Solution

Update the math-codegen library and its related packages to version 0.4.3 or later.
