SCA: security update for transformers (GHSA-489j-g2vx-39wf)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428307

Description

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

 - A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability was discovered in the
 huggingface/transformers repository, specifically in version 4.49.0. The vulnerability is due to
 inefficient regular expression complexity in the `SETTING_RE` variable within the
 `transformers/commands/chat.py` file. The regex contains repetition groups and non-optimized quantifiers,
 leading to exponential backtracking when processing 'almost matching' payloads. This can degrade
 application performance and potentially result in a denial-of-service (DoS) when handling specially
 crafted input strings. The issue is fixed in version 4.51.0. (CVE-2025-3262)
