SCA: security update for nicegui (GHSA-78qv-3mpx-9cqq)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438013

Description

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

 - NiceGUI is a Python-based UI framework. Prior to version 3.8.0, several NiceGUI APIs that execute methods
 on client-side elements (`Element.run_method()`, `AgGrid.run_grid_method()`, `EChart.run_chart_method()`,
 and others) use an `eval()` fallback in the JavaScript-side `runMethod()` function. When user-controlled
 input is passed as the method name, an attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the
 victim's browser. Additionally, `Element.run_method()` and `Element.get_computed_prop()` used string
 interpolation instead of `json.dumps()` for the method/property name, allowing quote injection to break
 out of the intended string context. Version 3.8.0 contains a fix. (CVE-2026-27156)
