Echo: werkzeug: security update to 2.2.3+echo.1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458341

Description

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

- Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. Versions 3.1.5 and below, the safe_join function
allows Windows device names as filenames if preceded by other path segments. This was previously reported
as GHSA-hgf8-39gv-g3f2, but the added filtering failed to account for the fact that safe_join accepts
paths with multiple segments, such as example/NUL. The function send_from_directory uses safe_join to
safely serve files at user-specified paths under a directory. If the application is running on Windows,
and the requested path ends with a special device name, the file will be opened successfully, but reading
will hang indefinitely. This issue has been fixed in version 3.1.6. (CVE-2026-27199)

Solution

Update the werkzeug library and its related packages to version 2.2.3+echo.1 or later.
