SCA: security update for python-multipart (GHSA-59g5-xgcq-4qw3)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410728
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- python-multipart is a streaming multipart parser for Python. When parsing form data, python-multipart
skips line breaks (CR \r or LF \n) in front of the first boundary and any tailing bytes after the last
boundary. This happens one byte at a time and emits a log event each time, which may cause excessive
logging for certain inputs. An attacker could abuse this by sending a malicious request with lots of data
before the first or after the last boundary, causing high CPU load and stalling the processing thread for
a significant amount of time. In case of ASGI application, this could stall the event loop and prevent
other requests from being processed, resulting in a denial of service (DoS). This vulnerability is fixed
in 0.0.18. (CVE-2024-53981)
