SCA: security update for unleash-server (GHSA-r5pq-6chh-j3xp)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446222

Description

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

 - Unleash is an open-source feature management platform. Prior to 7.5.2, 7.6.5, and 8.0.2, the shared
 OpenAPI validation error path in src/lib/error/bad-data-error.ts passes a raw request value from
 lodash.get to JSON.stringify in genericErrorMessage and fromOpenApiValidationErrors without guarding stack
 exhaustion. An unauthenticated attacker can send a roughly 10 KB JSON value nested thousands of levels
 deep to POST /edge/validate, POST /edge/issue-token, or another OpenAPI-validated endpoint, causing
 RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded in openAPIValidationMiddleware and terminating the Node
 process because no uncaughtException handler recovers it. Replaying the request can sustain a complete
 service outage. This issue is fixed in versions 7.5.2, 7.6.5, and 8.0.2. (CVE-2026-63462)

Solution

Update the unleash-server library and its related packages to version 7.5.2 or later.
