SCA: security update for setuptools (GHSA-h35f-9h28-mq5c)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445118

Description

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

 - setuptools is a package that allows users to download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python
 packages. Prior to 83.0.0, FileList applied MANIFEST.in exclude, global-exclude, recursive-exclude, and
 prune directives by matching compiled glob patterns against on-disk file names without Unicode
 normalization, so on macOS APFS or HFS+ an NFD file name could bypass an NFC exclusion rule and be packed
 into a source distribution. This issue is fixed in version 83.0.0. (CVE-2026-59890)

Solution

Update the setuptools library and its related packages to version 83.0.0 or later.
