SCA: security update for fickling (GHSA-565g-hwwr-4pp3)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436397

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 are missing
 `marshal` and `types` from the block list of unsafe module imports. Fickling started blocking both modules
 to address this issue. This allows an attacker to craft a malicious pickle file that can bypass fickling
 since it misses detections for `types.FunctionType` and `marshal.loads`. A user who deserializes such a
 file, believing it to be safe, would inadvertently execute arbitrary code on their system. This impacts
 any user or system that uses Fickling to vet pickle files for security issues. The issue was fixed in
 version 0.1.6. (CVE-2025-67747)
