SCA: security update for webpack-dev-server (GHSA-9jgg-88mc-972h)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 427835

Description

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

- webpack-dev-server allows users to use webpack with a development server that provides live reloading.
Prior to version 5.2.1, webpack-dev-server users' source code may be stolen when you access a malicious
web site with non-Chromium based browser. The `Origin` header is checked to prevent Cross-site WebSocket
hijacking from happening, which was reported by CVE-2018-14732. But webpack-dev-server always allows IP
address `Origin` headers. This allows websites that are served on IP addresses to connect WebSocket. An
attacker can obtain source code via a method similar to that used to exploit CVE-2018-14732. Version 5.2.1
contains a patch for the issue. (CVE-2025-30360)
