SCA: security update for defuddle (GHSA-jg4p-g6xj-4qmf)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446218

Description

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

 - Defuddle cleans up HTML pages. Prior to 0.19.1, site extractors interpolate page-derived image alt and src
 values, og:image values, and video descriptions into HTML strings without context-appropriate escaping,
 and buildExtractorResponse() returns this contentHtml without the main pipeline's DOM-based sanitization.
 The affected paths include src/extractors/x-article.ts, src/extractors/substack.ts, and
 src/extractors/youtube.ts. A malicious page or attacker-controlled content on a matching domain can inject
 event-handler attributes or javascript URLs that execute when a victim or downstream application renders
 the extracted HTML. This issue is fixed in version 0.19.1. (CVE-2026-61824)

Solution

Update the defuddle library and its related packages to version 0.19.1 or later.
