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,
 CORSConfig.allowed_origins_regex is constructed using a regex built from configured allowlist values and
 used with fullmatch() for validation. Because metacharacters are not escaped, a malicious origin can match
