SCA: security update for view_component (GHSA-7f3r-gwc9-2995)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441576

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 preview route derives an example name from the URL and calls it with
 public_send. The code does not verify that the requested method is one of the preview examples explicitly
 defined by the preview class. As a result, inherited public methods on ViewComponent::Preview are route-
 reachable. The most important one is render_with_template, which accepts template: and locals:. Those
 values can come from request params and are later passed to Rails as render template:. If previews are
 exposed, an attacker can render internal Rails templates that are not otherwise routable. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 4.9.0. (CVE-2026-44836)

Solution

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