SCA: security update for axios (GHSA-hfxv-24rg-xrqf)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442624

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. Axios versions before 0.32.0 on the 0.x
 line and before 1.16.0 on the 1.x line build a regular expression from the configured XSRF cookie name
 without escaping regex metacharacters. In standard browser environments, an attacker who can influence the
 cookie name passed to axios can cause expensive regex backtracking while axios reads document.cookie. The
 practical impact is client-side availability degradation, such as freezing the affected browser tab while
 axios prepares a request. The issue does not affect ordinary Node.js HTTP adapter usage, React Native, or
 web workers, where axios does not read document.cookie. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.32.0 and 1.16.0.
 (CVE-2026-44496)

Solution

Update the axios library and its related packages to version 0.32.0 or later.
