SCA: security update for mobsf (GHSA-8j49-mmcx-4mp5)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446051

Description

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

 - MobSF is a mobile application security testing tool used. Prior to 4.5.1, find_icon_path_zip in
 mobsf/StaticAnalyzer/views/android/icon_analysis.py uses the Android manifest android:icon value to
 construct paths under the scan resource directory without rejecting traversal or verifying containment,
 allowing an authenticated user to upload a crafted ZIP or APK that reads a server file with an
 ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS suffix, copies it to DWD_DIR as the predictable name -icon., and retrieves it through
 the /download/ endpoint. The same behavior provides a file-existence oracle through the icon_path report
 field. This issue is fixed in version 4.5.1. (CVE-2026-68922)

Solution

Update the mobsf library and its related packages to version 4.5.1 or later.
