SCA: security update for multer (GHSA-3pph-fpjx-jg34)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 448447

Description

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

 - multer is a Node.js middleware for handling multipart/form-data uploads. In versions 2.2.0 through 2.3.0,
 when a request using disk storage is aborted mid-upload, file writes that complete after multer has
 already run its abort cleanup are not removed, so each aborted upload can leave an orphaned file on disk.
 A remote unauthenticated attacker can repeatedly start and abort uploads to accumulate orphaned files and
 exhaust disk space, causing a denial of service. The issue is fixed in multer 2.4.0, and users should
 upgrade to 2.4.0 or later. (CVE-2026-88932)

Solution

Update the multer library and its related packages to version 2.4.0 or later.
