SCA: security update for yard (GHSA-pxcc-8665-phx8)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444050

Description

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

- YARD is a documentation generation tool for the Ruby programming language. Prior to version 0.9.44, YARD's
static cache lookup reads a request path before the router's path cleanup runs. When a server is
configured with a document root, a traversal path such as `/../yard-cache-secret.html` is joined against
that root and can return a readable sibling `.html` file outside the intended static tree. Version 0.9.44
patches the issue. (CVE-2026-49342)

Solution

Update the yard library and its related packages to version 0.9.44 or later.
