SCA: security update for view_component (GHSA-hg3h-g7xc-f7vp)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441573

Description

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

 - view_component is a framework for building reusable, testable, and encapsulated view components in Ruby on
 Rails. From 3.0.0 to 4.9.0, the system test entrypoint canonicalizes a user-controlled file path with
 File.realpath, then checks whether the resolved path starts with the temp directory path. This is not a
 safe containment check because sibling directories can share the same string prefix. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 4.9.0. (CVE-2026-44837)

Solution

Update the view_component library and its related packages to version 4.9.0 or later.
