SCA: security update for Jinja2 (GHSA-h75v-3vvj-5mfj)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415555

Description

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

- Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys
containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each
would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to
only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use
this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not
other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the
`xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as
insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe. This
vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.4. (CVE-2024-34064)
