SCA: security update for joi (GHSA-6h2x-m376-mqjq)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 448490

Description

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

 - joi (npm package `joi`, hapi.js) versions >=17.2.0 <17.13.7 and >=18.0.0 <18.2.6 are vulnerable to regular
 expression denial of service in the `Joi.string().isoDate()` validation rule. One of the regular
 expressions the rule applies to the input is unanchored, so a valid ISO date followed by a long run of
 fractional-second digits causes the regex engine to restart its search from every position in the string,
 yielding time proportional to the square of the input length (about 1.4 s for 64 KB of digits and about 22
 s for 256 KB). A remote attacker who can supply a string to an isoDate validation can stall the
 application with a single request. Fixed in 17.13.7 and 18.2.6; as a workaround, cap the length of the
 string before it reaches joi. (CVE-2026-92599)

Solution

Update the joi library and its related packages to version 17.13.7 or later.
