SCA: security update for mongoose (GHSA-664h-wqgq-64gw)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445235

Description

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

 - Mongoose is a MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment. Prior to
 6.13.10, 7.8.10, 8.24.1, and 9.7.2, passing a user-controlled update such as MyModel.updateOne(filter,
 req.body) can exploit Mongoose update casting with a __proto__.x dotted path under $set.
 Schema.prototype.path and Schema.prototype._getPathType can treat inherited properties of schema.paths and
 schema.nested as schema types, allowing the casting process to set $fullPath and $parentSchemaDocArray on
 Object.prototype before throwing. This prototype pollution makes those properties visible on newly created
 objects and can cause application integrity and availability impacts. This issue is fixed in versions
 6.13.10, 7.8.10, 8.24.1, and 9.7.2. (CVE-2026-73562)

Solution

Update the mongoose library and its related packages to version 6.13.10 or later.
