SCA: security update for color-name (GHSA-5fvm-p68v-5wmh)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435299
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- color-name is a JSON with CSS color names. On 8 September 2025, an npm publishing account for color-name
was taken over after a phishing attack. Version 2.0.1 was published, functionally identical to the
previous patch version, but with a malware payload added attempting to redirect cryptocurrency
transactions to the attacker's own addresses from within browser environments. Local environments, server
environments, command line applications, etc. are not affected. If the package was used in a browser
context (e.g. a direct <script> inclusion, or via a bundling tool such as Babel, Rollup, Vite, Next.js,
etc.) there is a chance the malware still exists and such bundles will need to be rebuilt. The malware
seemingly only targets cryptocurrency transactions and wallets such as MetaMask. See references below for
more information on the payload. npm removed the offending package from the registry over the course of
the day on 8 September, preventing further downloads from npm proper. On 13 September, the package owner
published new patch versions to help cache-bust those using private registries who might still have the
compromised version cached. Users should update to the latest patch version, completely remove their
node_modules directory, clean their package manager's global cache, and rebuild any browser bundles from
scratch. Those operating private registries or registry mirrors should purge the offending versions from
any caches. This issue is resolved in 2.0.2. (CVE-2025-59145)
