SCA: security update for ip-address (GHSA-v2v4-37r5-5v8g)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441202

Description

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

 - ip-address is a library for parsing and manipulating IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in JavaScript. Prior to
 10.1.1, Address6.group() and Address6.link() do not HTML-escape attacker-controlled content before
 embedding it in the HTML strings they return, and AddressError.parseMessage (emitted by the Address6
 constructor for invalid input) can contain unescaped attacker-controlled content in one branch. An
 application that (1) passes untrusted input to Address6 and (2) renders the output of these methods, or
 the thrown error's parseMessage, as HTML (e.g. via innerHTML) is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 10.1.1. (CVE-2026-42338)

Solution

Update the ip-address library and its related packages to version 10.1.1 or later.
