Echo: django: security update to 6.0.7

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461118

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in Django 6.0 before 6.0.7 and 5.2 before 5.2.16. `DomainNameValidator` does not
 prohibit newlines in domain names (unless used via a form field, since `CharField` strips newlines). If an
 application uses values with newlines in an HTTP response, header injection can occur. Django itself is
 unaffected because `HttpResponse` prohibits newlines in HTTP headers. Earlier, unsupported Django series
 (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected. Django would like to thank
 Bence Nagy for reporting this issue. (CVE-2026-53878)

Solution

Update the django library and its related packages to version 6.0.7 or later.
