SCA: security update for @highcharts/dashboards (GHSA-grj7-r4jv-pw9j)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477841

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 1.0.0 until 4.2.2, Highcharts Dashboards
uses chartConstructor as an unchecked property lookup in the Highcharts namespace and invokes the selected
member with the component container and chartOptions. An attacker who controls dashboard configuration can
select a public utility function instead of a supported chart constructor, causing attacker-controlled
options to be copied to the container as properties or attributes. Markup and event handlers can then
execute in the hosting page origin when the board renders. No user interaction beyond rendering the board
is required. This issue is fixed in 4.2.2. (CVE-2026-118245)

Solution

Update the @highcharts/dashboards library and its related packages to version 4.2.2 or later.
