Description

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

 - A vulnerability in the /v1/runs API endpoint of lightning-ai/pytorch-lightning v2.2.4 allows attackers to
 exploit path traversal when extracting tar.gz files. When the LightningApp is running with the
 plugin_server, attackers can deploy malicious tar.gz plugins that embed arbitrary files with path
