high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443644

Description

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

 - Python Liquid is a Python engine for the Liquid template language. Prior to 2.2.1, given a malformed {%
 case %} tag without an associated {% when %} or {% else %} block and no terminating {% endcase %} tag,
 Python Liquid hangs in an infinite loop at parse time because liquid.TokenStream.eof did not give the EOF
 token matching kind and value fields, allowing malicious template authors to craft templates for a denial
 of service attack. This issue is fixed in version 2.2.1. (CVE-2026-55865)

Solution

Update the python-liquid library and its related packages to version 2.2.1 or later.
