SCA: security update for faraday (GHSA-98m9-hrrm-r99r)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443627

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.
From 1.0.0 until 1.10.6 and 2.14.3, Faraday::NestedParamsEncoder, the default nested query parameter
encoder/decoder in Faraday, decodes nested query strings without enforcing a maximum nesting depth. A
crafted query string causes Faraday to build a deeply nested Ruby Hash structure. The internal dehash
routine then recursively walks this attacker-controlled structure without a depth limit. At sufficient
depth, Ruby raises an uncaught SystemStackError (stack level too deep), crashing the calling thread or
worker. This can lead to denial of service in applications that pass attacker-controlled query strings to
Faraday's nested query parsing or URL-building paths. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.10.6 and 2.14.3.
(CVE-2026-54297)

Solution

Update the faraday library and its related packages to version 1.10.6 or later.
