SCA: security update for @hapi/inert (GHSA-rcvq-m9j9-6f4g)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443066

Description

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

 - @hapi/inert provides static file and directory handlers for hapi.js. From 4.0.0 to 7.1.0, @hapi/inert
 serves static files from a directory configured with path in the directory or file handlers or relativeTo
 for h.file(), with confinement enforced by the confine option, but the confinement check compared the
 resolved absolute path against the confine directory using a raw string-prefix test, so a sibling
 directory such as /app/static-secret next to /app/static was incorrectly accepted and could allow an
 unauthenticated remote attacker to read files via /..%2fstatic-secret/secret.txt. This issue is fixed in
 version 7.1.1. (CVE-2026-48049)

Solution

Update the @hapi/inert library and its related packages to version 7.1.1 or later.
