SCA: security update for @xmldom/xmldom (GHSA-crh6-fp67-6883)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414069

Description

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

- xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) `DOMParser` and `XMLSerializer`
module. xmldom parses XML that is not well-formed because it contains multiple top level elements, and
adds all root nodes to the `childNodes` collection of the `Document`, without reporting any error or
throwing. This breaks the assumption that there is only a single root node in the tree, which led to
issuance of CVE-2022-39299 as it is a potential issue for dependents. Update to @xmldom/xmldom@~0.7.7,
@xmldom/xmldom@~0.8.4 (dist-tag latest) or @xmldom/xmldom@>=0.9.0-beta.4 (dist-tag next). As a workaround,
please one of the following approaches depending on your use case: instead of searching for elements in
the whole DOM, only search in the `documentElement`or reject a document with a document that has more then
1 `childNode`. (CVE-2022-39353)
