SCA: security update for @xmldom/xmldom (GHSA-x6wf-f3px-wcqx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440762

Description

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

 - xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) `DOMParser` and `XMLSerializer`
 module. In @xmldom/xmldom prior to versions 0.9.10 and 0.8.13 and xmldom version 0.6.0 and prior, the
 package allows attacker-controlled processing instruction data to be serialized into XML without
 validating or neutralizing the PI-closing sequence ?>. As a result, an attacker can terminate the
 processing instruction early and inject arbitrary XML nodes into the serialized output. This issue has
 been patched in versions @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.9.10 and 0.8.13. (CVE-2026-41675)

Solution

Update the @xmldom/xmldom library and its related packages to version 0.8.13 or later.
