SCA: security update for formidable (GHSA-75v8-2h7p-7m2m)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 425774

Description

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

 - Formidable (aka node-formidable) 2.1.0 through 3.x before 3.5.3 relies on hexoid to prevent guessing of
 filenames for untrusted executable content; however, hexoid is documented as not "cryptographically
 secure." (Also, there is a scenario in which only the last two characters of a hexoid string need to be
 guessed, but this is not often relevant.) NOTE: this does not imply that, in a typical use case, attackers
 will be able to exploit any hexoid behavior to upload and execute their own content. (CVE-2025-46653)
