SCA: security update for algoliasearch-helper (GHSA-529q-4j3p-7c5r)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435473

Description

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

 - Versions of the package algoliasearch-helper from 2.0.0-rc1 and before 3.11.2 are vulnerable to Prototype
 Pollution in the _merge() function in merge.js, which allows constructor.prototype to be written even
 though doing so throws an error. In the "extreme edge-case" that the resulting error is caught, code
 injected into the user-supplied search parameter may be exeucted. This is related to but distinct from the
 issue reported in [CVE-2021-23433](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-ALGOLIASEARCHHELPER-1570421).
 **NOTE:** This vulnerability is not exploitable in the default configuration of InstantSearch since
 searchParameters are not modifiable by users. (CVE-2025-3193)
