SCA: security update for kysely (GHSA-pv5w-4p9q-p3v2)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441731

Description

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

 - Kysely is a type-safe TypeScript SQL query builder. From 0.26.0 to 0.28.16,
 DefaultQueryCompiler.visitJSONPathLeg does not escape JSON-path metacharacters (., [, ], *, **, ?). When
 attacker-controlled input flows into eb.ref(col, '->$').key(input) or .at(input) — including type-safe
 code where the JSON column is shaped like Record<string, T> so K extends string is the inferred type —
 every dot becomes a path-leg separator, letting an attacker traverse from the intended key into sibling
 and child fields the developer never meant to expose. The result is read access (and, in update
 statements, write access) to JSON sub-fields outside the intended scope across MySQL, PostgreSQL ->$/->>$,
 and SQLite. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.28.17. (CVE-2026-44635)

Solution

Update the kysely library and its related packages to version 0.28.17 or later.
