SCA: security update for highcharts (GHSA-rmqc-xvr3-v46c)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477833

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 6.1.0 until 11.4.9, 12.6.1, and 3.1.0,
 Highcharts follows dot-separated series.keys paths without filtering each segment. An attacker who
 controls series.keys and matching point data can use a path through __proto__ to assign arbitrary named
 properties to Object.prototype. Those properties are visible to all JavaScript in the page, and no user
 interaction is required beyond rendering the chart. This issue is fixed in 11.4.9, 12.6.1, and 3.1.0.
 (CVE-2026-118250)

Solution

Update the highcharts library and its related packages to version 11.4.9 or later.
