SCA: security update for tinypool (GHSA-5gmw-xhrv-c9v3)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473013

Description

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

- Tinypool is a minimal Node.js worker thread pool implementation. Prior to 2.1.1, Tinypool constructs
ThreadPool.options from a normal options object and reads the execArgv and env worker options in
dist/index.js, allowing values inherited from a polluted Object.prototype to be copied into own properties
and passed to worker_threads.Worker. An attacker who can first pollute either property can cause each
newly spawned worker to load attacker-selected JavaScript through command-line preload arguments or
NODE_OPTIONS, resulting in code execution with the host process's privileges and possible access to CI
secrets, signing material, or build artifacts. This issue is fixed in version 2.1.1. (CVE-2026-104848)

Solution

Update the tinypool library and its related packages to version 2.1.1 or later.
