SCA: security update for kysely (GHSA-fr9j-6mvq-frcv)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439091

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. In versions 0.28.12 and 0.28.13, the
 `sanitizeStringLiteral` method in Kysely's query compiler escapes single quotes (`'` → `''`) but does not
 escape backslashes. On MySQL with the default `BACKSLASH_ESCAPES` SQL mode, an attacker can inject a
 backslash before a single quote to neutralize the escaping, breaking out of the JSON path string literal
 and injecting arbitrary SQL. Version 0.28.14 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-33442)

Solution

Update the kysely library and its related packages to version 0.28.14 or later.
