SCA: security update for dottie (GHSA-r5mx-6wc6-7h9w)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438113

Description

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

- Dottie provides nested object access and manipulation in JavaScript. Versions 2.0.4 through 2.0.6 contain
an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-26132. The prototype pollution guard introduced in commit `7d3aee1` only
validates the first segment of a dot-separated path, allowing an attacker to bypass the protection by
placing `__proto__` at any position other than the first. Both `dottie.set()` and `dottie.transform()` are
affected. Version 2.0.7 contains an updated fix to address the residual vulnerability. (CVE-2026-27837)
