SCA: security update for js-cookie (GHSA-qjx8-664m-686j)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442311

Description

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

 - JavaScript Cookie is a JavaScript API for handling cookies, client-side. Prior to version 3.0.7, js-
 cookie's internal assign() helper copies properties with for...in + plain assignment. When the source
 object is produced by JSON.parse, the JSON object's "__proto__" member is an own enumerable property, so
 the for…in enumerates it and the target[key] = source[key] write triggers the Object.prototype.__proto__
 setter on the fresh target ({}). The result is a per-instance prototype hijack: Object.prototype itself is
 untouched, but the merged attributes object now inherits attacker-controlled keys. Because the consuming
 set() function then enumerates the merged object with another for...in, every key the attacker placed on
 the polluted prototype lands in the resulting Set-Cookie string as an attribute pair. The attacker can set
 domain=, secure=, samesite=, expires=, and path= on cookies whose attributes the developer thought were
 locked down. This issue has been patched in version 3.0.7. (CVE-2026-46625)

Solution

Update the js-cookie library and its related packages to version 3.0.7 or later.
