SCA: security update for compressing (GHSA-4c3q-x735-j3r5)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440646

Description

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

 - Compressing is a compressing and uncompressing lib for node. Prior to 2.1.1 and 1.10.5, the patch for
 CVE-2026-24884 relies on a purely logical string validation within the isPathWithinParent utility. This
 check verifies if a resolved path string starts with the destination directory string but fails to account
 for the actual filesystem state. By exploiting this "Logical vs. Physical" divergence, an attacker can
 bypass the security check using a Directory Poisoning technique (pre-existing symbolic links). This
 vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.1 and 1.10.5. (CVE-2026-40931)

Solution

Update the compressing library and its related packages to version 1.10.5 or later.
