SCA: security update for beets (GHSA-3gxm-wfjx-m847)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440967

Description

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

 - Beets is the media library management system. Prior to version 2.10.0, the bundled web UI uses Underscore
 template interpolation mode <%= ... %> for untrusted metadata fields. In this runtime, <%= ... %> is raw
 insertion and HTML escaping is only performed by <%- ... %>. Rendered output is then inserted with
 .html(...), allowing attacker-controlled markup to become active DOM. This issue has been patched in
 version 2.10.0. (CVE-2026-42052)

Solution

Update the beets library and its related packages to version 2.10.0 or later.
