SCA: security update for i18next-http-middleware (GHSA-5fgg-jcpf-8jjw)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440718

Description

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

 - 18next-http-middleware is a middleware to be used with Node.js web frameworks like express or Fastify and
 also for Deno. Versions prior to 3.9.3 allow an unauthenticated HTTP client to pollute Object.prototype in
 the Node.js process hosting the middleware, via two unvalidated entry points that reach internal object-
 key writes: getResourcesHandler and missingKeyHandler. This can break authorisation checks (if
 (user.isAdmin) returning true for any user), cause type-confusion DoS, and depending on downstream code it
 can be chained into RCE. (CVE-2026-41690)

Solution

Update the i18next-http-middleware library and its related packages to version 3.9.3 or later.
