SCA: security update for openhands (GHSA-7h8w-hj9j-8rjw)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439214

Description

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

 - OpenHands is software for AI-driven development. Starting in version 1.5.0, a Command Injection
 vulnerability exists in the `get_git_diff()` method at `openhands/runtime/utils/git_handler.py:134`. The
 `path` parameter from the `/api/conversations/{conversation_id}/git/diff` API endpoint is passed
 unsanitized to a shell command, allowing authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands in the
 agent sandbox. The user is already allowed to instruct the agent to execute commands, but this bypasses
 the normal channels. Version 1.5.0 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-33718)

Solution

Update the openhands library and its related packages to version 1.5.0 or later.
