SCA: security update for text-generation (GHSA-j7x9-7j54-2v3h)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437462

Description

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

- A vulnerability in huggingface/text-generation-inference version 3.3.6 allows unauthenticated remote
attackers to exploit unbounded external image fetching during input validation in VLM mode. The issue
arises when the router scans inputs for Markdown image links and performs a blocking HTTP GET request,
reading the entire response body into memory and cloning it before decoding. This behavior can lead to
resource exhaustion, including network bandwidth saturation, memory inflation, and CPU overutilization.
The vulnerability is triggered even if the request is later rejected for exceeding token limits. The
default deployment configuration, which lacks memory usage limits and authentication, exacerbates the
impact, potentially crashing the host machine. The issue is resolved in version 3.3.7. (CVE-2026-0599)
