SCA: security update for axios (GHSA-vf2m-468p-8v99)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441078

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. Prior to 1.15.1 and 0.31.1, when
 responseType: 'stream' is used, Axios returns the response stream without enforcing maxContentLength. This
 bypasses configured response-size limits and allows unbounded downstream consumption. This vulnerability
 is fixed in 1.15.1 and 0.31.1. (CVE-2026-42036)

Solution

Update the axios library and its related packages to version 0.31.1 or later.
