SCA: security update for weblate (GHSA-cwcx-382v-8m9g)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441035

Description

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

 - Weblate is a web based localization tool. Prior to version 5.17.1, an authenticated user with project.add
 permission (default on hosted Weblate SaaS and for any user holding an active billing/trial plan) can
 import a crafted project backup ZIP whose components/<name>.json contains an attacker-chosen repo URL
 pointing at a private address (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:9999/) or using a non-allow-listed scheme (e.g.
 file://, git://). Weblate persists the component via Component.objects.bulk_create([component])[0], which
 bypasses Django's full_clean() and therefore never runs the validate_repo_url validator. The URL is
 subsequently written verbatim into .git/config by configure_repo(pull=False). This issue has been patched
 in version 5.17.1. (CVE-2026-41654)

Solution

Update the weblate library and its related packages to version 5.17.1 or later.
