SCA: security update for torchserve (GHSA-8fxr-qfr9-p34w)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412645

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- TorchServe is a tool for serving and scaling PyTorch models in production. TorchServe default
configuration lacks proper input validation, enabling third parties to invoke remote HTTP download
requests and write files to the disk. This issue could be taken advantage of to compromise the integrity
of the system and sensitive data. This issue is present in versions 0.1.0 to 0.8.1. A user is able to load
the model of their choice from any URL that they would like to use. The user of TorchServe is responsible
for configuring both the allowed_urls and specifying the model URL to be used. A pull request to warn the
user when the default value for allowed_urls is used has been merged in PR #2534. TorchServe release 0.8.2
includes this change. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
(CVE-2023-43654)
