SCA: security update for vyper (GHSA-ph9x-4vc9-m39g)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417535

Description

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

 - Vyper is a Pythonic smart contract language for the Ethereum virtual machine. Prior to version 0.3.8,
 internal calls with default arguments are compiled incorrectly. Depending on the number of arguments
 provided in the call, the defaults are added not right-to-left, but left-to-right. If the types are
 incompatible, typechecking is bypassed. The ability to pass kwargs to internal functions is an
 undocumented feature that is not well known about. The issue is patched in version 0.3.8. (CVE-2023-32059)
