SCA: security update for multiparty (GHSA-qxch-whhj-8956)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442060

Description

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

 - [email protected] and lower versions are vulnerable to denial of service via uncaught exception. By sending
 a multipart/form-data request with a field name that collides with an inherited Object.prototype property
 such as __proto__, constructor, or toString, the parser invokes .push() on the inherited prototype value
 rather than an array, throwing a TypeError that propagates as an uncaught exception and crashes the
 process. Impact: any service accepting multipart uploads via multiparty is affected. Workarounds: none.
 Upgrade to [email protected] or higher. (CVE-2026-8161)

Solution

Update the multiparty library and its related packages to version 4.3.0 or later.
