SCA: security update for jsonpath (GHSA-87r5-mp6g-5w5j)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437714

Description

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

 - Versions of the package jsonpath before 1.3.0 are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via unsafe
 evaluation of user-supplied JSON Path expressions. The library relies on the static-eval module to process
 JSON Path input, which is not designed to handle untrusted data safely. An attacker can exploit this
 vulnerability by supplying a malicious JSON Path expression that, when evaluated, executes arbitrary
 JavaScript code, leading to Remote Code Execution in Node.js environments or Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in
 browser contexts. This affects all methods that evaluate JSON Paths against objects, including .query,
 .nodes, .paths, .value, .parent, and .apply. (CVE-2026-1615)
