SCA: security update for toml (GHSA-4qx8-w7c3-pj3p)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476837

Description

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

 - toml-node is a TOML parser for Node.js and the browser. Prior to 5.0.1, the toml.parse() compiler's
 addTableArray() function in lib/compiler.js rescans the complete assignedPaths and valueAssignments
 bookkeeping sets for every array-of-tables header. Distinct [[name]] paths are not pruned, so a document
 with many such headers causes quadratic synchronous work and can block the Node.js event loop, denying
 service to other operations in the process. This issue is fixed in version 5.0.1. (CVE-2026-114141)

Solution

Update the toml library and its related packages to version 5.0.1 or later.
