SCA: security update for starlette (GHSA-2c2j-9gv5-cj73)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428598

Description

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

 - Starlette is a lightweight ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface) framework/toolkit, designed for
 building async web services in Python. In versions 0.47.1 and below, when parsing a multi-part form with
 large files (greater than the default max spool size) starlette will block the main thread to roll the
 file over to disk. This blocks the event thread which means the application can't accept new connections.
 The UploadFile code has a minor bug where instead of just checking for self._in_memory, the logic should
 also check if the additional bytes will cause a rollover. The vulnerability is fixed in version 0.47.2.
 (CVE-2025-54121)
