Echo: tmp: security update to 0.2.6

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460024

Description

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

 - tmp is a temporary file and directory creator for node.js. Prior to 0.2.6, the tmp npm package contains a
 path traversal vulnerability that allows escaping the intended temporary directory when untrusted data
 flows into the prefix, postfix, or dir options. By embedding traversal sequences (e.g., ../) or path
 separators in these parameters, attackers can cause files to be created outside the configured temporary
 base directory at attacker-controlled locations with the privileges of the running process. This
 vulnerability affects applications that pass user-controlled data to tmp's file/directory creation
 functions without proper input sanitization. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.2.6. (CVE-2026-44705)

Solution

Update the tmp library and its related packages to version 0.2.6 or later.
