SCA: security update for gakido (GHSA-gcgx-chcp-hxp9)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437372

Description

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

 - Gakido is a Python HTTP client focused on browser impersonation and anti-bot evasion. A vulnerability was
 discovered in Gakido prior to version 0.1.1 that allowed HTTP header injection through CRLF (Carriage
 Return Line Feed) sequences in user-supplied header values and names. When making HTTP requests with user-
 controlled header values containing `\r\n` (CRLF), `\n` (LF), or `\x00` (null byte) characters, an
 attacker could inject arbitrary HTTP headers into the request. The fix in version 0.1.1 adds a
 `_sanitize_header()` function that strips `\r`, `\n`, and `\x00` characters from both header names and
 values before they are included in HTTP requests. (CVE-2026-24489)
