SCA: security update for fickling (GHSA-r7v6-mfhq-g3m2)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436394

Description

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

 - Fickling is a Python pickling decompiler and static analyzer. Versions prior to 0.1.6 had a bypass caused
 by `pty` missing from the block list of unsafe module imports. This led to unsafe pickles based on
 `pty.spawn()` being incorrectly flagged as `LIKELY_SAFE`, and was fixed in version 0.1.6. This impacted
 any user or system that used Fickling to vet pickle files for security issues. (CVE-2025-67748)
