SCA: security update for tiny-secp256k1 (GHSA-7mc2-6phr-23xc)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428269

Description

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

 - tiny-secp256k1 is a tiny secp256k1 native/JS wrapper. Prior to version 1.1.7, a private key can be
 extracted on signing a malicious JSON-stringifiable object, when global Buffer is the buffer package. This
 affects only environments where require('buffer') is the NPM buffer package. The Buffer.isBuffer check can
 be bypassed, resulting in k reuse for different messages, leading to private key extraction over a single
 invalid message (and a second one for which any message/signature could be taken, e.g. previously known
 valid one). This issue has been patched in version 1.1.7. (CVE-2024-49364)
