SCA: security update for trix (GHSA-j386-3444-qgwg)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416085

Description

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

- Trix is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get rich text editor for everyday writing. Versions prior to 2.1.12 are
vulnerable to cross-site scripting when pasting malicious code in the link field. An attacker could trick
the user to copy&paste a malicious `javascript:` URL as a link that would execute arbitrary JavaScript
code within the context of the user's session, potentially leading to unauthorized actions being performed
or sensitive information being disclosed. Users should upgrade to Trix editor version 2.1.12 or later to
receive a patch. In addition to upgrading, affected users can disallow browsers that don't support a
Content Security Policy (CSP) as a workaround for this and other cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Set
CSP policies such as script-src 'self' to ensure that only scripts hosted on the same origin are executed,
and explicitly prohibit inline scripts using script-src-elem. (CVE-2025-21610)
