SCA: security update for Quart, Werkzeug (GHSA-q34m-jh98-gwm2)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417823

Description

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

- Werkzeug is a Web Server Gateway Interface web application library. Applications using
`werkzeug.formparser.MultiPartParser` corresponding to a version of Werkzeug prior to 3.0.6 to parse
`multipart/form-data` requests (e.g. all flask applications) are vulnerable to a relatively simple but
effective resource exhaustion (denial of service) attack. A specifically crafted form submission request
can cause the parser to allocate and block 3 to 8 times the upload size in main memory. There is no upper
limit; a single upload at 1 Gbit/s can exhaust 32 GB of RAM in less than 60 seconds. Werkzeug version
3.0.6 fixes this issue. (CVE-2024-49767)

Solution

Update the Quart library and its related packages to version 0.20.0 or later.
