Google: dev-python/pyjwt: security update to 17134.0.0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 453193

Description

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

 - PyJWT is a Python implementation of RFC 7519. PyJWT supports multiple different JWT signing algorithms.
 With JWT, an attacker submitting the JWT token can choose the used signing algorithm. The PyJWT library
 requires that the application chooses what algorithms are supported. The application can specify
 `jwt.algorithms.get_default_algorithms()` to get support for all algorithms, or specify a single
 algorithm. The issue is not that big as `algorithms=jwt.algorithms.get_default_algorithms()` has to be
 used. Users should upgrade to v2.4.0 to receive a patch for this issue. As a workaround, always be
 explicit with the algorithms that are accepted and expected when decoding. (CVE-2022-29217)

Solution

Update the dev-python/pyjwt library and its related packages to version 17134.0.0 or later.
