SCA: security update for highcharts (GHSA-65hg-cf3f-5m39)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477844

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 12.0.0 until 12.6.1 and 13.1.0,
Highcharts falls back to assigning raw markup to innerHTML when DOMParser cannot return a document, before
its allow-list is applied. In Chromium, the Trusted Types callback can throw while a beforeprint handler
runs, so a page that redraws a chart during beforeprint can insert untrusted HTML text options into the
hosting document. Event handlers in that markup then run in the page origin when printing begins. The
issue affects HTML-rendered titles, labels, data labels, responsive text, and the Stock, Maps, and Gantt
products shipped in the same package. This issue is fixed in 12.6.1 and 13.1.0. (CVE-2026-118244)

Solution

Update the highcharts library and its related packages to version 12.6.1 or later.
