SCA: security update for fpdf2 (GHSA-rw7v-4hrq-x6r9)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477623

Description

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

- fpdf2 is a PDF creation library for Python. Prior to 2.8.8, fpdf2's shared image loader automatically
dereferences attacker-controlled HTTP(S) URLs and raw local paths supplied through FPDF.image(),
FPDF.write_html() HTML <img src> values, SVG <image href> or xlink:href values, and template image fields.
This can cause outbound requests to attacker-selected internal or external services and local file open
attempts, although local content is exposed only when it is a valid supported image or SVG resource.
file:// URLs are not specially handled, so the local-path case requires a raw filesystem path. This issue
is fixed in version 2.8.8. (CVE-2026-114609)

Solution

Update the fpdf2 library and its related packages to version 2.8.8 or later.
