SCA: security update for openc3 (GHSA-v529-vhwc-wfc5)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440780

Description

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

 - OpenC3 COSMOS provides the functionality needed to send commands to and receive data from one or more
 embedded systems. From version 6.7.0 to before version 7.0.0-rc3, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in
 the Time-Series Database (TSDB) component of COSMOS. The tsdb_lookup function in the cvt_model.rb file
 directly places user-supplied input into a SQL query without sanitizing the input. As a result, a user can
 break out of the initial SQL statement and execute arbitrary SQL commands, including deleting data. This
 issue has been patched in version 7.0.0-rc3. (CVE-2026-42087)

Solution

Update the openc3 library and its related packages to version 7.0.0-rc3 or later.
