SCA: security update for homeassistant (GHSA-m3pm-rpgg-5wj6)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420915

Description

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

 - Home Assistant Core is an open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Affected
 versions are subject to a potential man-in-the-middle attacks due to missing SSL certificate verification
 in the project codebase and used third-party libraries. In the past, `aiohttp-session`/`request` had the
 parameter `verify_ssl` to control SSL certificate verification. This was a boolean value. In `aiohttp`
 3.0, this parameter was deprecated in favor of the `ssl` parameter. Only when `ssl` is set to `None` or
 provided with a correct configured SSL context the standard SSL certificate verification will happen. When
 migrating integrations in Home Assistant and libraries used by Home Assistant, in some cases the
 `verify_ssl` parameter value was just moved to the new `ssl` parameter. This resulted in these
 integrations and 3rd party libraries using `request.ssl = True`, which unintentionally turned off SSL
 certificate verification and opened up a man-in-the-middle attack vector. This issue has been addressed in
 version 2024.1.6 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this
 vulnerability. (CVE-2025-25305)
