SCA: security update for jsonata (GHSA-8gq3-vp5j-2grp)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446234

Description

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

 - JSONata is a JSON query and transformation language. Prior to 1.8.8 and 2.2.0, the src/functions.js lookup
 function lacked an Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty check and allowed crafted expressions to access
 inherited prototype members. An attacker able to supply an expression could use inherited prototype
 setters and getters, constructor access, valueOf, and process.getBuiltinModule to reach the child_process
 module and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the host process. This issue is fixed in versions
 1.8.8 and 2.2.0. (CVE-2026-77413)

Solution

Update the jsonata library and its related packages to version 1.8.8 or later.
