SCA: security update for axios (GHSA-q8qp-cvcw-x6jj)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441072

Description

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

 - Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From version 1.0.0 to before version
 1.15.2, fFive config properties (auth, baseURL, socketPath, beforeRedirect, and insecureHTTPParser) in the
 HTTP adapter are read via direct property access without hasOwnProperty guards, making them exploitable as
 prototype pollution gadgets. When Object.prototype is polluted by another dependency in the same process,
 axios silently picks up these polluted values on every outbound HTTP request. This issue has been patched
 in version 1.15.2. (CVE-2026-42264)

Solution

Update the axios library and its related packages to version 1.15.2 or later.
