SCA: security update for fast-xml-parser (GHSA-37qj-frw5-hhjh)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437401

Description

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

 - fast-xml-parser allows users to validate XML, parse XML to JS object, or build XML from JS object without
 C/C++ based libraries and no callback. In versions 5.0.9 through 5.3.3, a RangeError vulnerability exists
 in the numeric entity processing of fast-xml-parser when parsing XML with out-of-range entity code points
 (e.g., `�` or `�`). This causes the parser to throw an uncaught exception, crashing any
 application that processes untrusted XML input. Version 5.3.4 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-25128)
