SCA: security update for faraday (GHSA-5rv5-xj5j-3484)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442081

Description

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

 - Faraday is an HTTP client library abstraction layer that provides a common interface over many adapters.
 Versions 2.0.0 through 2.14.1 still allow protocol-relative host override when the request target is
 passed as a URI object (rather than a String) to Faraday::Connection#build_exclusive_url. This bypasses
 the February 2026 fix for GHSA-33mh-2634-fwr2 and enables off-host request forgery: a request built from a
 fixed-base Faraday::Connection can be redirected to an attacker-controlled host, forwarding connection-
 scoped values such as Authorization headers and default query parameters. This issue has been fixed in
 version 2.14.3. (CVE-2026-33637)

Solution

Update the faraday library and its related packages to version 2.14.2 or later.
