SCA: security update for liquidjs (GHSA-8xx9-69p8-7jp3)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446841

Description

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

 - LiquidJS is a Shopify/GitHub Pages compatible template engine written in pure JavaScript. In versions
 10.25.7 and below, the renderLimit option can be fully bypassed by a {% for %} (or {% tablerow %}) tag
 whose body is empty. The renderLimit option is documented in docs/source/tutorials/dos.md as the mechanism
 that "mitigates this by limiting the time consumed by each render() call." The per-iteration time check is
 reached only when the body contains at least one template node, so a template such as {%- for i in (1..N)
 -%}{%- endfor -%} iterates the full collection without ever consulting renderLimit. With a configured
 renderLimit of 50 ms, a single parseAndRenderSync call has been observed to consume 2.26 seconds (~45×
 over the limit) and scales linearly with N up to memoryLimit, allowing a low-privileged template author to
 wedge an event-loop thread for an attacker-chosen duration. Deployments that rely on a finite renderLimit
 for DoS protection (common in multi-tenant template-authoring environments) can still be forced by a
 single crafted template to monopolize a Node.js event-loop worker for attacker-controlled time,
 potentially stalling in-flight requests, with availability impact only. This issue has been fixed in
 version 10.26.0. (CVE-2026-44645)
