SCA: security update for i18next-http-backend (GHSA-xvq9-wjp8-hwqf)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473443

Description

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

- i18next-http-backend is a backend layer for i18next that loads translation resources in Node.js, browsers,
and Deno. Prior to 4.0.2, attacker-controlled language or namespace values interpolated into a custom
loadPath or addPath that begins directly with {{lng}} or {{ns}} can make colon-based input become an
absolute URL or, in browsers, make a double-slash namespace become a protocol-relative URL. The resulting
request can leave the intended origin and cause URL injection or server-side request forgery. The default
/locales/{{lng}}/{{ns}}.json template and templates with a leading path or origin are not affected because
the placeholder does not occupy the URL's structural beginning. This issue is fixed in version 4.0.2.
(CVE-2026-105800)

Solution

Update the i18next-http-backend library and its related packages to version 4.0.2 or later.
