SCA: security update for color-convert (GHSA-pxx3-g568-hxr4)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435305

Description

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

 - color-convert provides plain color conversion functions in JavaScript. On 8 September 2025, the npm
 publishing account for color-convert was taken over after a phishing attack. Version 3.1.1 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. 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 3.1.2. (CVE-2025-59162)
