SCA: security update for pillow (GHSA-gg2r-wvfm-q9rx)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476595

Description

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

 - Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 4.1.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow's MSP RLE decoder can expand a small
 file into an unbounded in-memory buffer. The decoder writes run-length output to BytesIO without limiting
 expansion to the declared image size. An attacker can supply a crafted MSP image to an application that
 loads its pixels. This can exhaust memory and deny service even when the declared pixel count passes the
 decompression-bomb check. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112892)

Solution

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