SCA: security update for axios (GHSA-pf86-5x62-jrwf)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441080

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
 Object.prototype has been polluted by any co-dependency with keys that axios reads without a
 hasOwnProperty guard, an attacker can (a) silently intercept and modify every JSON response before the
 application sees it, or (b) fully hijack the underlying HTTP transport, gaining access to request
 credentials, headers, and body. The precondition is prototype pollution from a separate source in the same
 process. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.1 and 0.31.1. (CVE-2026-42033)

Solution

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