medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420868

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in npm-serialize-javascript. The vulnerability occurs because the serialize-javascript
 module does not properly sanitize certain inputs, such as regex or other JavaScript object types, allowing
 an attacker to inject malicious code. This code could be executed when deserialized by a web browser,
 causing Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This issue is critical in environments where serialized data
 is sent to web clients, potentially compromising the security of the website or web application using this
 package. (CVE-2024-11831)

Solution

Update the serialize-javascript library and its related packages to version 6.0.2 or later.
