SCA: security update for @highcharts/grid-lite, @highcharts/grid-pro (GHSA-6g3c-p4fg-xv47)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477837

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 2.3.0 until 3.2.0, Highcharts Grid
 creates SVG path elements from rendering.icons object definitions and previously copied every child key
 with setAttribute. An attacker who controls Grid configuration can supply event-handler attribute names in
 an icon definition. Because custom icons override built-ins, the attacker can replace default sort or
 pagination icons, and script runs in the hosting page origin when a user hovers over or activates the
 affected icon. This issue is fixed in 3.2.0. (CVE-2026-118242)

Solution

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