SCA: security update for yeoman-environment (GHSA-vv9j-gjw2-j8wp)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444521

Description

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

 - Yeoman Environment provides an API to discover, create, and run generators, and to configure where and how
 a generator is resolved. Versions 2.9.0 through 6.0.0 install missing local generator packages from
 caller-supplied package names without user confirmation. In downstream consumers that pass attacker-
 controlled project configuration into this path, this can result in arbitrary package installation and
 code execution during CLI bootstrap. The vulnerable method is installLocalGenerators(), which calls
 repository.install() directly without prompting the user. This issue has been fixed in version 6.0.0.
 (CVE-2026-42089)

Solution

Update the yeoman-environment library and its related packages to version 6.0.1 or later.
