SCA: security update for apm-cli (GHSA-xhrw-5qxx-jpwr)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441492

Description

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

 - Microsoft APM is an open-source, community-driven dependency manager for AI agents. Prior to 0.8.12,
 Microsoft APM normalizes marketplace plugins by copying plugin components referenced in plugin.json into
 .apm/. The manifest fields agents, skills, commands, and hooks are attacker-controlled, but the
 implementation does not enforce that those paths remain inside the plugin directory. A malicious plugin
 can therefore use absolute paths or ../ traversal paths to copy arbitrary readable host files or
 directories from the installer's machine during apm install. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.12.
 (CVE-2026-44641)

Solution

Update the apm-cli library and its related packages to version 0.8.12 or later.
