SCA: security update for @evomap/evolver (GHSA-j5w5-568x-rq53)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440740

Description

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

 - Evolver is a GEP-powered self-evolving engine for AI agents. Prior to version 1.69.3, a command injection
 vulnerability in the _extractLLM() function allows attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands on the
 server. The function constructs a curl command using string concatenation and passes it to execSync()
 without proper sanitization, enabling remote code execution when the corpus parameter contains shell
 metacharacters. This issue has been patched in version 1.69.3. (CVE-2026-42076)

Solution

Update the @evomap/evolver library and its related packages to version 1.69.3 or later.
