SCA: security update for reflex (GHSA-rfh5-c9h5-q8jm)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446889

Description

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

 - Reflex is a library to build full-stack web apps in pure Python. In versions 0.5.4 through 0.8.14, the
 /auth-codespace endpoint automatically assigns the redirect_to query parameter value directly to client-
 side links without any validation and triggers automatic clicks when the page loads in a GitHub Codespaces
 environment. This allows attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external URLs. The vulnerable route is
 only registered when a Codespaces environment is detected, and the detection is controlled by environment
 variables. The same behavior can be activated in production if the
 GITHUB_CODESPACES_PORT_FORWARDING_DOMAIN environment variable is set. The vulnerability occurs because the
 code assigns the redirect_to query parameter directly to a.href without any validation and immediately
 triggers a click (automatic navigation), allowing users to be sent to arbitrary external domains. The
 execution condition is based on the presence of a sessionStorage flag, meaning it triggers immediately on
 first visits or in incognito/private browsing windows, with no server-side origin/scheme whitelist or
 internal path enforcement defenses in place. This issue has been patched in version 0.8.15. As a
 workaround, users can ensure that GITHUB_CODESPACES_PORT_FORWARDING_DOMAIN is not set in a production
 environment. (CVE-2025-62379)
