SCA: security update for smol-toml (GHSA-7w5x-hrqm-74c2)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 447862

Description

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

 - smol-toml is a small, fast, and correct TOML parser and serializer. Prior to 1.7.1, parse() can enter an
 infinite loop when a value inside an array or inline table is followed by a comment with no trailing
 newline. In src/util.ts, skipUntil() calls indexOfNewline(), receives -1 at the end of input, and resets
 the cursor to the beginning of the string instead of leaving the structure scan. The parser then hangs
 indefinitely and can consume a service's processing capacity when an application parses attacker-
 controlled TOML. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.1. (CVE-2026-85730)

Solution

Update the smol-toml library and its related packages to version 1.7.1 or later.
