Echo: dompurify: security update to 3.4.8

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 457072

Description

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

- DOMPurify versions >=3.0.0 and before 3.4.8, when configured with SAFE_FOR_TEMPLATES together with a DOM
output mode (RETURN_DOM, RETURN_DOM_FRAGMENT, or IN_PLACE), fail to strip template expressions (e.g.
${evil}, {{evil}}, <%evil%>) inside <template> element content. The final normalization/scrub pass
(_scrubTemplateExpressions) uses a NodeIterator and node.normalize() that do not descend into
template.content, so expressions that only form after adjacent text nodes merge survive sanitization. This
bypasses SAFE_FOR_TEMPLATES and can allow a downstream template engine to evaluate attacker-supplied
expressions. The string output path is not affected. (CVE-2026-65900)

Solution

Update the dompurify library and its related packages to version 3.4.8 or later.
