SCA: security update for urllib3 (GHSA-48p4-8xcf-vxj5)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427890

Description

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

- urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. Starting in version 2.2.0 and prior to 2.5.0,
urllib3 does not control redirects in browsers and Node.js. urllib3 supports being used in a Pyodide
runtime utilizing the JavaScript Fetch API or falling back on XMLHttpRequest. This means Python libraries
can be used to make HTTP requests from a browser or Node.js. Additionally, urllib3 provides a mechanism to
control redirects, but the retries and redirect parameters are ignored with Pyodide; the runtime itself
determines redirect behavior. This issue has been patched in version 2.5.0. (CVE-2025-50182)
