SCA: security update for litestar (GHSA-vxqx-rh46-q2pg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437666

Description

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

 - Litestar is an Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI) framework. Prior to 2.20.0, FileStore maps
 cache keys to filenames using Unicode NFKD normalization and ord() substitution without separators,
 creating key collisions. When FileStore is used as response-cache backend, an unauthenticated remote
 attacker can trigger cache key collisions via crafted paths, causing one URL to serve cached responses of
 another (cache poisoning/mixup). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.20.0. (CVE-2026-25480)
