SCA: security update for axios (GHSA-pjwm-pj3p-43mv)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442471

Description

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

 - Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Prior to 0.32.0 and 1.16.0, Axios does
 not normalise IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. When NO_PROXY lists an IPv4 address such as 127.0.0.1 or
 169.254.169.254, a request URL using the IPv4-mapped IPv6 form (::ffff:7f00:1, ::ffff:a9fe:a9fe) still
 routes through the configured proxy. Node.js resolves these addresses to the underlying IPv4 host, so the
 request reaches the internal service via the proxy rather than being blocked. This vulnerability is fixed
 in 0.32.0 and 1.16.0. (CVE-2026-44492)

Solution

Update the axios library and its related packages to version 0.32.0 or later.
