SCA: security update for kysely (GHSA-wmrf-hv6w-mr66)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438944

Description

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

 - Kysely is a type-safe TypeScript SQL query builder. Versions up to and including 0.28.11 has a SQL
 injection vulnerability in JSON path compilation for MySQL and SQLite dialects. The `visitJSONPathLeg()`
 function appends user-controlled values from `.key()` and `.at()` directly into single-quoted JSON path
 string literals (`'$.key'`) without escaping single quotes. An attacker can break out of the JSON path
 string context and inject arbitrary SQL. This is inconsistent with `sanitizeIdentifier()`, which properly
 doubles delimiter characters for identifiers — both are non-parameterizable SQL constructs requiring
 manual escaping, but only identifiers are protected. Version 0.28.12 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-32763)

Solution

Update the kysely library and its related packages to version 0.28.12 or later.
