medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476557

Description

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

 - ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system. In sanitize-html 2.18.0, when an
 <iframe> is not allowed and disallowedTagsMode is 'discard' (the defaults), its raw-text content is re-
 sanitized by a recursive call to sanitizeHtml(text, options). The recursion has no bound and starts each
 nested call with a fresh state. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.18.1. (CVE-2026-113650)

Solution

Update the sanitize-html library and its related packages to version 2.18.1 or later.
