SCA: security update for scitokens (GHSA-rh5m-2482-966c)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439566

Description

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

 - SciTokens is a reference library for generating and using SciTokens. Prior to version 1.9.6, the KeyCache
 class in scitokens was vulnerable to SQL Injection because it used Python's str.format() to construct SQL
 queries with user-supplied data (such as issuer and key_id). This allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary
 SQL commands against the local SQLite database. This issue has been patched in version 1.9.6.
 (CVE-2026-32714)

Solution

Update the scitokens library and its related packages to version 1.9.6 or later.
