SCA: security update for undici (GHSA-pr7r-676h-xcf6)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443470

Description

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

 - Impact: Undici's cache interceptor incorrectly classifies some responses as cacheable when the upstream
 Cache-Control header uses whitespace-padded qualified private or no-cache field names such as private="
 authorization" or no-cache="\tauthorization". The parser preserves the surrounding whitespace, so later
 comparisons against the literal authorization field name fail and the response is stored. In shared-cache
 mode, this allows a response containing one user's authenticated data to be served from cache to a
 subsequent caller, including an unauthenticated caller, when both requests resolve to the same cache key.
 Affected applications are those that explicitly enable the cache interceptor (interceptors.cache()) in
 shared mode, forward Authorization headers upstream, and receive cacheable responses with non-canonical
 qualified private or no-cache directives. Patches: Upgrade to undici v7.28.0 or v8.5.0. Workarounds: If
 upgrade is not immediately possible, disable shared-cache mode for traffic that includes Authorization
 headers, avoid caching responses to authenticated requests, or add Vary: Authorization upstream.
 (CVE-2026-9678)

Solution

Update the undici library and its related packages to version 7.28.0 or later.
