high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437664

Description

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

 - The nbconvert tool, jupyter nbconvert, converts Jupyter notebooks to various other formats via Jinja
 templates. Versions of nbconvert up to and including 7.16.6 on Windows have a vulnerability in which
 converting a notebook containing SVG output to a PDF results in unauthorized code execution. Specifically,
 a third party can create a `inkscape.bat` file that defines a Windows batch script, capable of arbitrary
 code execution. When a user runs `jupyter nbconvert --to pdf` on a notebook containing SVG output to a PDF
 on a Windows platform from this directory, the `inkscape.bat` file is run unexpectedly. This issue has
 been patched in version 7.17.0. (CVE-2025-53000)
