SCA: security update for zae-limiter (GHSA-76rv-2r9v-c5m6)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438032

Description

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

 - zae-limiter is a rate limiting library using the token bucket algorithm. Prior to version 0.10.1, all rate
 limit buckets for a single entity share the same DynamoDB partition key (`namespace/ENTITY#{id}`). A high-
 traffic entity can exceed DynamoDB's per-partition throughput limits (~1,000 WCU/sec), causing throttling
 that degrades service for that entity — and potentially co-located entities in the same partition. Version
 0.10.1 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-27695)
