Echo: protobufjs: security update to 7.5.6

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 464035

Description

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

 - protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. Prior to 7.5.6 and 8.0.2,
 protobufjs generated JavaScript property accessors from schema-controlled field and oneof names. Certain
 control characters in field names were not escaped before being embedded into generated function bodies. A
 crafted schema or JSON descriptor could therefore cause generated encode, decode, verify, or conversion
 functions to fail during compilation. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.5.6 and 8.0.2. (CVE-2026-44294)

Solution

Update the protobufjs library and its related packages to version 7.5.6 or later.
