SCA: security update for axios (GHSA-3g43-6gmg-66jw)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442543

Description

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

 - Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From 0.19.0 to before 0.31.1 and 1.15.2,
 Axios contains prototype-pollution gadgets in request config processing. If another vulnerability in the
 same JavaScript process has already polluted Object.prototype.transformResponse, affected Axios versions
 may treat that inherited value as request configuration or as an option validator. Axios does not itself
 create the prototype pollution. Exploitability requires a separate prototype-pollution vulnerability or
 equivalent attacker control over Object.prototype before Axios creates a request. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 0.31.1 and 1.15.2. (CVE-2026-44495)

Solution

Update the axios library and its related packages to version 0.31.1 or later.
