SCA: security update for dbt-common (GHSA-w75w-9qv4-j5xj)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438413

Description

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

 - dbt-common is the shared common utilities for dbt-core and adapter implementations use. Prior to versions
 1.34.2 and 1.37.3, a path traversal vulnerability exists in dbt-common's safe_extract() function used when
 extracting tarball archives. The function uses os.path.commonprefix() to validate that extracted files
 remain within the intended destination directory. However, commonprefix() compares paths character-by-
 character rather than by path components, allowing a malicious tarball to write files to sibling
 directories with matching name prefixes. This issue has been patched in versions 1.34.2 and 1.37.3.
 (CVE-2026-29790)
