SCA: security update for link-preview-js (GHSA-cpjf-6666-r8fx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 447580

Description

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

 - Link Preview JS extracts web links information. Prior to 4.0.4, the resolveDNSHost mitigation in index.ts
 validates one resolved IP address but fetches the original hostname, allowing an attacker-controlled DNS
 server to return a public address during validation and a loopback or internal address during the final
 connection. This DNS rebinding condition bypasses the SSRF protection and can cause the server-side
 preview fetch to reach internal HTTP resources. Redirect handling is affected by the same validation-to-
 fetch mismatch. This issue is fixed in version 4.0.4. (CVE-2026-61704)

Solution

Update the link-preview-js library and its related packages to version 4.0.4 or later.
