high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477831

Description

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

 - Highcharts JS is a JavaScript charting library based on SVG. From 2.0.0 until 3.2.0, Highcharts Grid
 writes pagination language strings into the DOM as markup instead of text. An attacker who controls the
 Grid language configuration can provide elements with event handlers, which execute in the hosting page
 origin when pagination controls render. Exploitation requires pagination to be enabled but does not
 require additional user interaction. This issue is fixed in 3.2.0. (CVE-2026-118254)

Solution

Update the @highcharts/grid-lite library and its related packages to version 3.2.0 or later.
