SCA: security update for protobufjs, protobufjs-cli (GHSA-f38q-mgvj-vph7)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443198

Description

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

 - protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. Prior to 8.6.0 and 7.6.3,
 protobufjs accepted certain schema-derived names that could collide with properties used by protobufjs
 runtime helpers. The known affected names are fields named hasOwnProperty, field or oneof names such as
 $type when loaded through protobufjs JSON/reflection descriptors, and service methods whose generated
 helper name is rpcCall. When affected message or service types were used, protobufjs could read schema-
 controlled data where it expected an own-property helper, reflected type metadata, or the base RPC helper.
 This could cause deterministic exceptions or recursive calls in affected decode post-checks, verification,
 object conversion, reflected JSON serialization, or protobufjs RPC helper invocation. This vulnerability
 is fixed in 8.6.0 and 7.6.3. (CVE-2026-54269)

Solution

Update the protobufjs-cli library and its related packages to version 1.3.3 or later.
