SCA: security update for toml (GHSA-9j65-hcg3-gc64)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476852

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, toml.parse() repeatedly slices and
 rejoins every path prefix in lib/compiler.js while processing long dotted keys, table headers, array-of-
 tables headers, and inline-table keys in assign(), deepRef(), and setNestedKey(). The resulting quadratic
 work can block the Node.js event loop for several seconds, and sufficiently long paths can terminate the
 process through memory exhaustion. The maxDepth option does not limit key-segment count and therefore does
 not mitigate this path. This issue is fixed in version 5.0.1. (CVE-2026-114143)

Solution

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