SCA: security update for vitest (GHSA-9crc-q9x8-hgqq)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420818

Description

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

 - Vitest is a testing framework powered by Vite. Affected versions are subject to arbitrary remote Code
 Execution when accessing a malicious website while Vitest API server is listening by Cross-site WebSocket
 hijacking (CSWSH) attacks. When `api` option is enabled (Vitest UI enables it), Vitest starts a WebSocket
 server. This WebSocket server did not check Origin header and did not have any authorization mechanism and
 was vulnerable to CSWSH attacks. This WebSocket server has `saveTestFile` API that can edit a test file
 and `rerun` API that can rerun the tests. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by injecting a code in a
 test file by the `saveTestFile` API and then running that file by calling the `rerun` API. This
 vulnerability can result in remote code execution for users that are using Vitest serve API. This issue
 has been patched in versions 1.6.1, 2.1.9 and 3.0.5. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known
 workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-24964)
