SCA: security update for pillow (GHSA-cp9v-662q-vvx9)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476589

Description

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

 - Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 12.0.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow's Image.merge() can dereference a
 null image8 plane. Validation skips the first input band, allowing a 32-bit integer or floating-point
 image backed by image32 storage to be merged as a narrower multiband image. A crafted IPTC file can reach
 this path when an application opens and loads it, or a caller can invoke Image.merge() directly with such
 a first band. This causes a native process crash. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112405)

Solution

Update the pillow library and its related packages to version 13.0.0 or later.
