SCA: security update for github.com/nhost/nhost (GHSA-6g38-8j4p-j3pr)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440663

Description

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

 - Nhost is an open source Firebase alternative with GraphQL. Prior to version 0.49.1, Nhost automatically
 links an incoming OAuth identity to an existing Nhost account when the email addresses match. This is only
 safe when the email has been verified by the OAuth provider. Nhost's controller trusts a
 profile.EmailVerified boolean that is set by each provider adapter. The vulnerability is that several
 provider adapters do not correctly populate this field they either silently drop a verified field the
 provider API actually returns (Discord), or they fall back to accepting unconfirmed emails and marking
 them as verified (Bitbucket). Two Microsoft providers (AzureAD, EntraID) derive the email from non-
 ownership-proving fields like the user principal name, then mark it verified. The result is that an
 attacker can present an email they don't own to Nhost, have the OAuth identity merged into the victim's
 account, and receive a full authenticated session. This issue has been patched in version 0.49.1.
 (CVE-2026-41574)

Solution

Update the github.com/nhost/nhost library and its related packages to version 0.0.0-20260417112436-ec8dab3f2cf4 or later.
