  - Highcharts JS is a JavaScript charting library based on SVG. From 2.3.0 until 3.2.0, Highcharts Grid
    creates SVG path elements from rendering.icons object definitions and previously copied every child key
    with setAttribute. An attacker who controls Grid configuration can supply event-handler attribute names in
    an icon definition. Because custom icons override built-ins, the attacker can replace default sort or
    pagination icons, and script runs in the hosting page origin when a user hovers over or activates the
    affected icon. This issue is fixed in 3.2.0. (CVE-2026-118242)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
