SCA: security update for @haxtheweb/haxcms-nodejs (GHSA-5fpv-5qvh-7cf3)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428600

Description

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

 - HAX CMS NodeJS allows users to manage their microsite universe with a NodeJS backend. Versions 11.0.9 and
 below were distributed with hardcoded default credentials for the user and superuser accounts.
 Additionally, the application has default private keys for JWTs. Users aren't prompted to change
 credentials or secrets during installation, and there is no way to change them through the UI. An
 unauthenticated attacker can read the default user credentials and JWT private keys from the public
 haxtheweb GitHub repositories. These credentials and keys can be used to access unconfigured self-hosted
 instances of the application, modify sites, and perform further attacks. This is fixed in version 11.0.10.
 (CVE-2025-54137)
