SCA: security update for h2 (GHSA-847f-9342-265h)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435091

Description

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

- h2 is a pure-Python implementation of a HTTP/2 protocol stack. Prior to version 4.3.0, an HTTP/2 request
splitting vulnerability allows attackers to perform request smuggling attacks by injecting CRLF characters
into headers. This occurs when servers downgrade HTTP/2 requests to HTTP/1.1 without properly validating
header names/values, enabling attackers to manipulate request boundaries and bypass security controls.
This issue has been patched in version 4.3.0. (CVE-2025-57804)
