SCA: security update for pillow (GHSA-fc9g-5qg7-mf45)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476603

Description

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

 - Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 9.2.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow performs quadratic copying when saving
 a GIF with a long comment. _get_global_header() repeatedly copies portions of comment data while
 assembling the global header, including comments retained from an untrusted input image. An attacker can
 supply an image with a large GIF comment to an application that saves it as GIF. This can consume
 excessive CPU and delay or deny service. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0. (CVE-2026-112891)

Solution

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