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 sidebar parses component language strings as HTML rather than inserting them as text. An
 attacker who controls the Dashboards language configuration can provide markup containing event handlers,
 which execute in the hosting page origin when a user opens the edit-mode sidebar and the affected labels
 render. This issue is fixed in 4.2.3. (CVE-2026-118252)

Solution

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