SCA: security update for llama-index-cli (GHSA-g99h-56mw-8263)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427756

Description

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

 - LLama-Index CLI version v0.12.20 contains an OS command injection vulnerability. The vulnerability arises
 from the improper handling of the `--files` argument, which is directly passed into `os.system`. An
 attacker who controls the content of this argument can inject and execute arbitrary shell commands. This
 vulnerability can be exploited locally if the attacker has control over the CLI arguments, and remotely if
 a web application calls the LLama-Index CLI with a user-controlled filename. This issue can lead to
 arbitrary code execution on the affected system. (CVE-2025-1753)
