SCA: security update for http-proxy-middleware (GHSA-gcq2-9pq2-cxqm)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443872

Description

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

 - http-proxy-middleware is node.js http-proxy middleware. From 3.0.4 until 3.0.7 and 4.1.1, fixRequestBody()
 is the library's documented helper for re-emitting a request body that was already consumed by a body
 parser. When the outgoing Content-Type is multipart/form-data, it rebuilds the body with
 handlerFormDataBodyData(), which interpolates each req.body key and value directly into the multipart wire
 format without neutralizing CR/LF. A \r\n inside a value (or key) lets an attacker close the current part
 and inject an entirely new form part. Because the proxy's own body parser saw a single opaque value, any
 gateway-side policy or validation performed on req.body is evaluated against a different set of fields
 than the upstream backend ultimately parses a request/parameter desynchronization across the trust
 boundary. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.7 and 4.1.1. (CVE-2026-55603)

Solution

Update the http-proxy-middleware library and its related packages to version 3.0.7 or later.
