SCA: security update for adm-zip (GHSA-j5f4-cc29-5x44)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 448486

Description

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

- adm-zip is a JavaScript library for creating and extracting ZIP archives in Node.js. Prior to 0.6.1, adm-
zip applies the Unix permission bits stored in a zip entry directly to the extracted file via
`fs.chmodSync()` when `keepOriginalPermission=true` is passed to `extractAllTo()`/`extractEntryTo()` — and
it never filters the setuid/setgid/sticky bits out of those bits. A zip crafted by an attacker can
therefore produce an extracted binary with mode `04755`. When extraction runs as root (the default posture
in Docker builds, CI runners, and privileged install steps — the exact environments where this flag is
used), the resulting root-owned setuid file is executed later by a lesser-privileged user, turning the
attacker's code into a root execution. Version 0.6.1 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-102282)

Solution

Update the adm-zip library and its related packages to version 0.6.1 or later.
