SCA: security update for mongoose (GHSA-wpg9-53fq-2r8h)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441193

Description

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

 - Mongoose is a MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment. Prior to
 6.13.9, 7.8.9, 8.22.1, and 9.1.6, a vulnerability allows bypassing Mongoose’s sanitizeFilter query
 sanitization mechanism via the $nor operator. When sanitizeFilter is enabled, Mongoose wraps query
 operators in $eq to neutralize them. However, prior to the fix, $nor was not included in the set of
 logical operators that are recursively sanitized. Because $nor accepts an array (like $and and $or), and
 arrays do not trigger hasDollarKeys(), malicious operators such as $ne, $gt, or $regex could be injected
 inside a $nor clause without being sanitized. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.13.9, 7.8.9, 8.22.1, and
 9.1.6. (CVE-2026-42334)

Solution

Update the mongoose library and its related packages to version 6.13.9 or later.
