SCA: security update for llama-index-core (GHSA-3wxx-q3gv-pvvv)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428311

Description

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

 - The JSONReader in run-llama/llama_index versions 0.12.28 is vulnerable to a stack overflow due to
 uncontrolled recursive JSON parsing. This vulnerability allows attackers to trigger a Denial of Service
 (DoS) by submitting deeply nested JSON structures, leading to a RecursionError and crashing applications.
 The root cause is the unsafe recursive traversal design and lack of depth validation, which makes the
 JSONReader susceptible to stack overflow when processing deeply nested JSON. This impacts the availability
 of services, making them unreliable and disrupting workflows. The issue is resolved in version 0.12.38.
 (CVE-2025-5472)
