SCA: security update for liquidjs (GHSA-56p5-8mhr-2fph)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440071

Description

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

 - LiquidJS is a Shopify / GitHub Pages compatible template engine in pure JavaScript. Prior to 10.25.3, for
 {% include %}, {% render %}, and {% layout %}, LiquidJS checks whether the candidate path is inside the
 configured partials or layouts roots before reading it. That check is path-based, not realpath-based.
 Because of that, a file like partials/link.liquid passes the directory containment check as long as its
 pathname is under the allowed root. If link.liquid is actually a symlink to a file outside the allowed
 root, the filesystem follows the symlink when the file is opened and LiquidJS renders the external target.
 So the restriction is applied to the path string that was requested, not to the file that is actually
 read. This matters in environments where an attacker can place templates or otherwise influence files
 under a trusted template root, including uploaded themes, extracted archives, mounted content, or
 repository-controlled template trees. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.25.3. (CVE-2026-35525)

Solution

Update the liquidjs library and its related packages to version 10.25.3 or later.
