SCA: security update for nicegui (GHSA-w8wv-vfpc-hw2w)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440062

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 3.10.0, Since PurePosixPath only recognizes forward
 slashes (/) as path separators, an attacker can bypass this sanitization on Windows by using backslashes
 (\) in the upload filename. Applications that construct file paths using file.name (a pattern demonstrated
 in NiceGUI's bundled examples) are vulnerable to arbitrary file write on Windows. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 3.10.0. (CVE-2026-39844)

Solution

Update the nicegui library and its related packages to version 3.10.0 or later.
