medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462354

Description

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

 - XML Injection vulnerability in xmltodict allows Input Data Manipulation. This issue affects xmltodict:
 from 0.14.2 before 0.15.1. NOTE: the scope of this CVE is disputed by the vendor on the grounds that
 xmltodict.unparse() delegates element-name handling to Python's xml.sax.saxutils.XMLGenerator, and that
 XMLGenerator should be the component performing validation. (CVE-2025-9375)

Solution

Update the python-xmltodict library and its related packages to version 0.15.0 or later.
