SCA: security update for nuxt (GHSA-fx6j-w5w5-h468)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442160

Description

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

- Nuxt is an open-source web development framework for Vue.js. From versions 3.4.3 to before 3.21.6 and
4.0.0-alpha.1 to before 4.4.6, navigateTo() with external: true generates a server-side HTML redirect body
containing a <meta http-equiv="refresh"> tag. The destination URL is only sanitized by replacing " with
%22, leaving <, >, &, and ' unencoded. An attacker who can influence the URL passed to navigateTo(url, {
external: true }) can break out of the content="…" attribute and inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript that
executes under the application's origin. This issue has been patched in versions 3.21.6 and 4.4.6.
(CVE-2026-45669)

Solution

Update the nuxt library and its related packages to version 3.21.6 or later.
