SCA: security update for Pillow (GHSA-74r2-7ff9-mjj2)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476598

Description

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

 - Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 5.4.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow performs quadratic copying while
 parsing GIF comments. GifImageFile._seek() repeatedly appends immutable bytes for comment sub-blocks and
 multiple comment extensions, and frame zero is parsed during Image.open(). An attacker can submit a small-
 dimension GIF containing many comment extensions to any application that opens the file. This can consume
 excessive CPU and deny service before the application can inspect the image. This issue is fixed in
 version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112401)

Solution

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