Echo: python3.13: security update to 3.13.5-2+e37

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 459922

Description

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

 - `Element.findall()` and fully-consumed `Element.iterfind()` exhibit `O(n^2)` time complexity when using
 XPath index predicates (e.g. `[1]`, `[last()]`, `[last()-N]`) on XML documents with many same-tag
 siblings. `Element.find()` is only affected when the first match is near the end of the sibling list, such
 as with `[last()]` or `[last()-N]`; `.//item[1]` short-circuits after the first match. (CVE-2026-6879)

Solution

Update the python3.13 library and its related packages to version 3.13.5-2+e37 or later.
