SCA: security update for tuf (GHSA-qp9x-wp8f-qgjj)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442447

Description

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

 - python-tuf is a Python reference implementation of The Update Framework (TUF). Prior to 7.0.0,
 DelegatedRole._is_target_in_pathpattern in tuf/api/_payload.py uses fnmatch.fnmatch, which applies
 os.path.normcase before matching and makes delegation path authorization case-insensitive on Windows. When
 a TUF repository has path-based delegations that differ only by case and an attacker-controlled role is
 visited before the legitimate role, ngclient can accept an attacker-provided target from the wrong
 delegation for a requested path. Linux and macOS clients are not affected because their path normalization
 does not change case. This issue is fixed in 7.0.0. (CVE-2026-123806)

Solution

Update the tuf library and its related packages to version 7.0.0 or later.
