SCA: security update for ddtrace (GHSA-3633-r77q-h3v3)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477600

Description

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

 - Datadog dd-trace-py is the Datadog Python APM client. From 1.5.0 until 3.19.9 and 4.15.6, the default
 query-string obfuscation regular expression can exhibit excessive backtracking while synchronously
 processing attacker-controlled URL query strings for HTTP span metadata. A remote attacker can cause
 prolonged CPU consumption, request latency, and service unavailability in affected HTTP tracing
 integrations that include query strings in URL span tags. The vulnerable processing is enabled by default
 for those integrations. This issue is fixed in versions 3.19.9 and 4.15.6. (CVE-2026-116588)

Solution

Update the ddtrace library and its related packages to version 3.19.9 or later.
