SCA: security update for github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v3 (GHSA-jm34-66cf-qpvr)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440763

Description

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

 - Nuclei is a vulnerability scanner built on a simple YAML-based DSL. From version 3.0.0 to before version
 3.8.0, a vulnerability in Nuclei's expression evaluation engine makes it possible for a malicious target
 server to inject and execute supported DSL expressions. This happens when HTTP response data containing
 helper/function syntax gets reused by multi-step templates. If the -env-vars / -ev option is explicitly
 enabled, this can expose host environment variables. That option is off by default, so standard
 configurations are not affected by the information disclosure risk. This issue has been patched in version
 3.8.0. (CVE-2026-41645)

Solution

Update the github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v3 library and its related packages to version 3.8.0 or later.
