SCA: security update for webob (GHSA-fh3h-vg37-cc95)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442641

Description

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

 - WebOb provides objects for HTTP requests and responses. Prior to 1.8.10, the normalization of the HTTP
 Location header during a redirect is vulnerable to an open redirect: WebOb joins the redirect target to
 the request URI using Python's urljoin, and since Python 3.10 the underlying urlsplit strips ASCII tab,
 carriage return, and newline characters before parsing, so a redirect target containing such characters
 can be reinterpreted as a protocol-relative URL whose authority is an attacker-controlled host. This
 bypasses the CVE-2024-42353 fix that escaped a leading double slash, allowing an attacker who influences
 the redirect location to send users to an arbitrary external site instead of the intended one. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.10. (CVE-2026-44889)

Solution

Update the webob library and its related packages to version 1.8.10 or later.
