SCA: security update for jspdf (GHSA-cjw8-79x6-5cj4)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437418

Description

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

 - jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript. Prior to 4.1.0, the addJS method in the jspdf Node.js
 build utilizes a shared module-scoped variable (text) to store JavaScript content. When used in a
 concurrent environment (e.g., a Node.js web server), this variable is shared across all requests. If
 multiple requests generate PDFs simultaneously, the JavaScript content intended for one user may be
 overwritten by a subsequent request before the document is generated. This results in Cross-User Data
 Leakage, where the PDF generated for User A contains the JavaScript payload (and any embedded sensitive
 data) intended for User B. Typically, this only affects server-side environments, although the same race
 conditions might occur if jsPDF runs client-side. The vulnerability has been fixed in [email protected].
 (CVE-2026-24040)
