SCA: security update for undici (GHSA-r53p-7pc4-xj5r)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 448467

Description

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

 - undici's retry interceptor can append the body of a ranged retry response to bytes already delivered from
 an earlier partial response while still presenting the original response's status and headers. This
 happens when an upstream server delivers part of a body without a trustworthy resume checkpoint, for
 example a non-success response whose headers were already sent or a partial-content response with an
 unusable content range, then closes the connection and answers the resumed range request with more bytes.
 As a result the response body can be longer than the Content-Length that the application observes. An
 application that relays such a response to a downstream HTTP/1.1 peer without normalizing the framing can
 emit a body that exceeds the forwarded Content-Length, and the excess bytes can be interpreted as the
 start of a following response, which enables downstream response splitting or desynchronization.
 Exploitation requires an attacker-controlled upstream server and an application that forwards the response
 through a framing-sensitive path. This affects undici versions before 6.28.1, from 7.0.0 up to 7.29.1, and
 from 8.0.0 up to 8.10.2. Users should upgrade to undici 6.28.1, 7.29.1, or 8.10.2. (CVE-2026-18540)

Solution

Update the undici library and its related packages to version 6.28.1 or later.
