SCA: security update for highcharts (GHSA-gfvx-2c2g-38wq)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477830

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 13.0.0 until 13.1.0, Highcharts builds
 series data columns by using point option keys directly as column IDs. Own enumerable __proto__ and
 constructor keys from parsed point objects can therefore direct integer-indexed writes to Object.prototype
 or the Object constructor. The inherited values affect reads and for-in enumeration across the page and
 can disrupt rendering or alter consuming application behavior without user interaction beyond rendering
 the chart. This issue is fixed in 13.1.0. (CVE-2026-118249)

Solution

Update the highcharts library and its related packages to version 13.1.0 or later.
