nodejs14 was updated to 14.18.1:

- allow promisified exec to be cancel

Changes in 14.17.6

* deps: upgrade npm to 6.14.15 which fixes a number of security issues (bsc#1190057, CVE-2021-37701, bsc#1190056, CVE-2021-37712, bsc#1190055, CVE-2021-37713, bsc#1190054, CVE-2021-39134, bsc#1190053, CVE-2021-39135)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
