SCA: security update for electron (GHSA-9qh4-3jw8-366w)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 448489

Description

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

 - Electron is a framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
 Prior to 41.10.6, 42.9.2, 43.4.1, and 44.0.0-beta.5, an Electron <webview> guest could enable
 nodeIntegrationInWorker for its Web Workers even when the unsandboxed embedder had Node.js integration
 disabled, allowing untrusted guest content to create a Node-enabled worker with more privilege than the
 embedder granted. Applications that do not enable the <webview> tag or that keep the embedder sandboxed
 are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 41.10.6, 42.9.2, 43.4.1, and 44.0.0-beta.5.
 (CVE-2026-102676)
