SCA: security update for axios (GHSA-3p68-rc4w-qgx5)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440122

Description

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

 - Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Prior to 1.15.0 and 0.31.0, Axios does
 not correctly handle hostname normalization when checking NO_PROXY rules. Requests to loopback addresses
 like localhost. (with a trailing dot) or [::1] (IPv6 literal) skip NO_PROXY matching and go through the
 configured proxy. This goes against what developers expect and lets attackers force requests through a
 proxy, even if NO_PROXY is set up to protect loopback or internal services. This issue leads to the
 possibility of proxy bypass and SSRF vulnerabilities allowing attackers to reach sensitive loopback or
 internal services despite the configured protections. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.0 and 0.31.0.
 (CVE-2025-62718)

Solution

Update the axios library and its related packages to version 0.31.0 or later.
