SCA: security update for figlet (GHSA-62ch-8vmq-8xm7)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 471915

Description

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

 - figlet.js is a FIG driver written in JavaScript that aims to implement the FIGfont specification. Prior to
 1.11.3, text() and textSync() can enter an unbounded loop when whitespaceBreak is enabled and width is
 smaller than the rendered width of a single FIGlet character. Under these conditions, breakWord() cannot
 find a valid break point and returns without consuming a character, so generateFigTextLines() repeatedly
 processes the same input while consuming CPU and growing memory. The non-default option and attacker-
 controlled width must both reach an affected call. This issue is fixed in version 1.11.3. (CVE-2026-96780)

Solution

Update the figlet library and its related packages to version 1.11.3 or later.
