SCA: security update for seroval (GHSA-wp97-x4hv-qvhp)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477788

Description

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

- Seroval facilitates JavaScript value stringification, including complex structures beyond JSON.stringify
capabilities. From 1.4.1 until 1.6.8, fromJSON and fromCrossJSON do not require an array node's element
list to be an actual array. A small crafted payload can supply an attacker-controlled length that
determines memory allocation and decoder iterations independently of payload size, allowing an
unauthenticated request to exhaust the process or block its thread. This issue is a residual bypass of the
remediation for CVE-2026-23957. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.8. (CVE-2026-116584)

Solution

Update the seroval library and its related packages to version 1.6.8 or later.
