SCA: security update for devpi-server (GHSA-m5pq-69xg-vcq3)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446099

Description

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

 - devpi is a Python package index staging server and packaging, testing, and release tool. Prior to 6.20.2
 and 7.0.0b3, a server configured with the primary or deprecated master role allows an unauthenticated,
 modified GET request to the +changelog route because verify_primary does not reject a missing identity and
 therefore fails to require ReplicaIdentity. The response can disclose complete database content, including
 Argon2 password hashes and identifiers and salts for devpi-tokens; exposed hashes may be subject to
 dictionary attacks, and public tokens may assist attempts to derive the server secret. Large responses can
 also consume significant CPU, input/output capacity, and bandwidth. Servers using the standalone role are
 not exposed through replication, and an instance served exclusively through nginx with devpi-lockdown
 redirects the request to login with no known exploit. This issue is fixed in devpi-server versions 6.20.2
 and 7.0.0b3. (CVE-2026-54723)

Solution

Update the devpi-server library and its related packages to version 6.20.2 or later.
