SCA: security update for @highcharts/dashboards (GHSA-58g7-7f52-h92c)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477826

Description

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

 - Highcharts JS is a JavaScript charting library based on SVG. From 1.0.0 until 4.2.3, Highcharts Dashboards
 edit mode parses fullscreen language labels as HTML rather than inserting them as text. An attacker who
 controls Dashboards language options can supply markup with event handlers, which execute in the hosting
 page origin when the fullscreen control is rendered. The label is reachable only when edit mode is enabled
 and viewFullscreen is present in the context-menu items. This issue is fixed in 4.2.3. (CVE-2026-118253)

Solution

Update the @highcharts/dashboards library and its related packages to version 4.2.3 or later.
