SCA: security update for smolagents (GHSA-6v92-r5mx-h5fx)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428638

Description

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

 - A sandbox escape vulnerability was identified in huggingface/smolagents version 1.14.0, allowing attackers
 to bypass the restricted execution environment and achieve remote code execution (RCE). The vulnerability
 stems from the local_python_executor.py module, which inadequately restricts Python code execution despite
 employing static and dynamic checks. Attackers can exploit whitelisted modules and functions to execute
 arbitrary code, compromising the host system. This flaw undermines the core security boundary intended to
 isolate untrusted code, posing risks such as unauthorized code execution, data leakage, and potential
 integration-level compromise. The issue is resolved in version 1.17.0. (CVE-2025-5120)
