SCA: security update for PyJWT (GHSA-x33g-cr3x-6449)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 472950

Description

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

 - PyJWT is a Python implementation of JSON Web Token standards. From 2.1.0 until 2.15.0, PyJWT
 OKPAlgorithm.from_jwk in jwt/algorithms.py is affected because private-JWK import path does not compare
 the public key derived from d with x. This occurs when an OKP private JWK supplies non-corresponding x and
 d components. As a result, identity derived from x can differ from operations performed with d.
 Consequently, if an integration also accepts private key parameters from a proof header without rejecting
 them, an attacker may use a stolen sender-constrained token without the legitimate private key. This issue
 is fixed in version 2.15.0. (CVE-2026-102275)

Solution

Update the PyJWT library and its related packages to version 2.15.0 or later.
