SCA: security update for Twisted (GHSA-q7qq-6mhp-9rc4)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477263

Description

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

 - Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, supporting Python 3.6+. Prior to
 26.10.0rc1, twisted.web.http.HTTPChannel.headerReceived rejects a NUL byte in an HTTP header value but
 accepts a bare carriage return or bare line feed. Because Twisted splits header lines only on CRLF, a
 hidden Content-Length header can remain folded into another value while a lenient front end treats the
 bare character as a line terminator. The resulting framing disagreement can smuggle a following request
 past front-end access controls, poison a shared connection or cache, and expose a later client to the
 wrong response. This issue is an incomplete-fix residual of earlier Twisted request-smuggling protections.
 This issue is fixed in version 26.10.0rc1. (CVE-2026-115877)

Solution

Update the Twisted library and its related packages to version 26.10.0rc1 or later.
