SCA: security update for happy-dom (GHSA-834v-8h66-3h79)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477212

Description

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

 - Happy DOM is a JavaScript implementation of a web browser without its graphical user interface. From
 17.0.0 until 21.0.4, packages/happy-dom/src/module/ECMAScriptModuleCompiler.ts accepts a named ESM import
 alias without validating that it is a JavaScript binding identifier before inserting it into a generated
 destructuring binding. With enableJavaScriptEvaluation enabled, attacker-controlled HTML or module source
 can use an invalid alias that becomes a valid default initializer after compilation, causing the generated
 JavaScript to execute in the Node.js host process. The demonstrated reachable path uses a JSON module
 import attribute, which prevents the malicious alias from being emitted again in a later ESM circular-
 import assignment and keeps the generated function syntactically valid. This incomplete fix for
 CVE-2026-33943 is a distinct residual path because the earlier remediation validated the local export
 importName path but not the named-import alias. This issue is fixed in version 21.0.4. (CVE-2026-115895)

Solution

Update the happy-dom library and its related packages to version 21.0.4 or later.
