SCA: security update for Pillow (GHSA-xvh5-g6gv-559v)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476586
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Pillow is a Python imaging library. In versions through 12.3.0, the libtiff TIFF encoder can pass
arguments to TIFFSetField() that do not match libtiff’s definition of the corresponding tag. When an
application saves attacker-controlled image metadata through this encoder, crafted tag values can cause
invalid memory reads, copying process memory into the encoded output or crashing the process. Applications
that return the encoded output to an attacker can disclose that memory. The issue is reachable when re-
saving compressed TIFF images and through certain conversions that preserve EXIF metadata into compressed
TIFF output. This vulnerability is fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112902)
Solution
Update the Pillow library and its related packages to version 13.0.0 or later.See Also
