SCA: security update for @apostrophecms/db-connect, apostrophe (GHSA-j5rq-xfvr-p969)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476372

Description

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

 - ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system. Prior to 1.1.0 of db-connect and 4.33.0
 of ApostropheCMS, an account with view-draft access can submit a projection exclusion path that traverses
 through a constructor prototype chain to a shared prototype member when a consumer uses a SQLite,
 PostgreSQL, or multipostgres adapter and has a matching document. Every editing role has view-draft
 access, while guestApiAccess broadens this prerequisite to any logged-in account. The unsetNestedField
 helper then deletes the shared runtime member, causing persistent process-wide integrity and availability
 effects; the default MongoDB adapter is not affected. This issue is fixed in db-connect 1.1.0 and
 ApostropheCMS 4.33.0. (CVE-2026-113666)

Solution

Update the @apostrophecms/db-connect library and its related packages to version 1.1.0 or later.
