SCA: security update for bbot (GHSA-xpf3-p7gm-7756)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474619

Description

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

 - BBOT's unarchive module rejects archives containing symlink entries before extraction, but for zip and 7z
 archives it failed to detect symlinks whose listing carries a DOS-attribute prefix before the unix mode,
 as produced by legacy versions of p7zip. Such an archive, downloaded and extracted during a scan (for
 example via filedownload), bypassed the guard and caused an attacker-controlled symlink to be written into
 the extraction directory. The effect is limited to planting the symlink (its target is not written
 through), and only hosts using such a legacy p7zip build are affected; current mainline 7-Zip is not.
 (CVE-2026-14966)

Solution

Update the bbot library and its related packages to version 3.0.0 or later.
