SCA: security update for geonode (GHSA-hw9r-6m78-w6h3)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442734

Description

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

 - GeoNode versions 4.4.5 and 5.0.2 (and prior within their respective releases) contain a server-side
 request forgery vulnerability in the service registration endpoint that allows authenticated attackers to
 trigger outbound network requests to arbitrary URLs by submitting a crafted service URL during form
 validation. Attackers can probe internal network targets including loopback addresses, RFC1918 private IP
 ranges, link-local addresses, and cloud metadata services by exploiting insufficient URL validation in the
 WMS service handler without private IP filtering or allowlist enforcement. (CVE-2026-39922)

Solution

Update the geonode library and its related packages to version 4.4.5 or later.
