SCA: security update for music-metadata (GHSA-5gfj-9q3v-qfp3)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473952

Description

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

 - music-metadata is a metadata parser for audio and video media files. Prior to 11.16.0, the Matroska and
 WebM EBML parser decodes an attacker-controlled VINT element length and uses it for string-token or
 Uint8Array allocation before confirming that the leaf fits within its parent or available input. Crafted
 WebM, MKV, or MKA inputs can cause disproportionate allocations, out-of-memory denial of service, or, for
 a demonstrated parseFile path on Node.js 26.7.0, an uncatchable V8 fatal abort. The exact failure mode
 depends on the tokenizer, parser API, and runtime, but the affected leaf-length validation flaw is shared
 and has availability impact only. This issue is fixed in version 11.16.0. (CVE-2026-107389)

Solution

Update the music-metadata library and its related packages to version 11.16.0 or later.
