SCA: security update for mojic (GHSA-wqq3-wfmp-v85g)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440928

Description

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

 - Mojic is a CLI tool to transform readable C code into an unrecognizable chaotic stream of emojis. Prior to
 2.1.4, the CipherEngine uses a standard equality operator (!==) to verify the HMAC-SHA256 integrity seal
 during the decryption phase. This creates an Observable Timing Discrepancy (CWE-208), allowing a potential
 attacker to bypass the file integrity check via a timing attack. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.4.
 (CVE-2026-41244)

Solution

Update the mojic library and its related packages to version 2.1.4 or later.
