SCA: security update for llama-index-core (GHSA-m84c-4c34-28gf)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428308

Description

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

 - A critical deserialization vulnerability exists in the run-llama/llama_index library's
 JsonPickleSerializer component, affecting versions v0.12.27 through v0.12.40. This vulnerability allows
 remote code execution due to an insecure fallback to Python's pickle module. JsonPickleSerializer
 prioritizes deserialization using pickle.loads(), which can execute arbitrary code when processing
 untrusted data. Attackers can exploit this by crafting malicious payloads to achieve full system
 compromise. The root cause includes an insecure fallback mechanism, lack of validation or safeguards,
 misleading design, and violation of Python security guidelines. (CVE-2025-3108)
